Rhetoric and conscious breathing teacher and lecturer Donaldas Duškinas presents his second book, “Rhetoric for Children”, which offers a wealth of information for both kids and adults. The author’s first book, “Rhetoric. Rhetotherapy,” was published in 2019.

This new work stands out for its unique approach — readers are taken on a journey through the world of rhetoric alongside a revived Greek philosopher, Aristotle, who introduces the foundations of rhetorical art, the power of persuasive storytelling, and key rhetorical concepts rooted in the Greek language. In the book, Aristotle’s stories are listened to by Tiltilis, a typical modern-day youth character with whom young readers can identify.

The rich narrative covers the origins of rhetoric from Ancient Greece to Rome, the Middle Ages, and rhetorical trends in 16th-century Lithuania, while also offering practical tips from the author for readers to try out themselves.

“Rhetoric for Children” is sure to capture the attention of young readers, providing them with fascinating facts about rhetoric and practical advice on the art of public speaking. The illustrations by Žaneta Smailienė turn reading into a true feast of imagination for anyone willing to embark on a journey into the expressive world of speech.
