Abstract	This collection of 16 papers attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of children in the nations of the Americas. The collection's five sections examine children's rights, perspectives of five parents from five different nations, children with disabilities in the legal system, promoting the rights of children through social policy, and strengthening communities through policy and program initiatives. A case vignette completes each section. The papers are: (1) "The Rights of Children and Economic Prosperity: Competing Claims?"
