Abstract:
Exchanges between Brazil and the United States regarding children's health education in the early decades of the twentieth century led to the circulation of subjects, knowledge, and printed matters, involving agreements between government public health agencies, international agencies, and civil society organizations. This article presents a significant source for understanding the processes of production and transnational circulation of printed matters aimed at teaching hygiene and health notions: the Child Health Alphabet, an illustrated book in alphabetical format, published in New York and adapted into Portuguese by J.P. Fontenelle, a physician-educator who completed an internship at Johns Hopkins University with a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation.
