Eleo and the Bubble Planet

Note by the Authors
This book is based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, introduced by the
UN General Assembly on the 10th December, 1948. This Declaration was adopted
after the world went through World War II. Following such a tragic event that lasted
many years and affected millions of people around the globe, the leaders of many
countries decided that such an act should never happen again. Together they wrote
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which is a road map that guarantees the
basic rights of each and every person. They all signed the Declaration promising that
the people in their countries will be protected by the articles in the Declaration.
Although the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been in place for more
than sixty years, if we look around us we can see that we do not always follow this
Declaration both as people and as countries.
This book tells the story of Eleo, a young boy who lives in the ideal planet of
Bubble-onia where the people have managed to live in harmony with each other for
many, many years. However, unfortunately, the planet does have other problems
and together with Eleo and his grandfather Bobbla, we will find out how they live on
the planet and what the people of Bubble-onia intend to do to overcome their
challenges.
