A fun and engaging book designed to harness and develop children''s natural philosophical interest.

Children are born philosophers. Without prompting, they often ask questions about time, mortality, happiness and the meaning of life. This book addresses some of their more complex questions by introducing accessible philosophical concepts from 25 famous thinkers, contextualized in relatable everyday scenarios. Presented in an interactive question and answer format, this book takes us to meet leading figures of philosophy from around the world and from all eras-and shows us how their ideas continue to matter.

With discussions about some of the most vibrant and essential philosophical ideas of history, this accessible book functions as an ideal introduction to the subject as well as a charming way to open up conversations between children and adults about the biggest questions we all face.
