I would have loved to read this as a child, and I could really see how this book teaches to be patient with situations or people you might not understand straight away. The book is described as: Accessible philosophy for children; a collection of important concepts from 25 famous thinkers, contextualised in relatable everyday scenarios with illustrations and exercises. In my opinion, one of the great wonders of reading is that no matter how much you think you know, a well written book can always remind you of the things that matter. A kid friendly introduction to philosophy that explores its practical applications and relevance in everyday life. In the story, the protagonist is a postcard existentialist, disillusioned, numb, emotionally dead outsider.

Luckily for me, the company invented by Alain de Botton, “The School of Life”, printed a book to explain philosophy to the children. There are spaces for responses and self-reflection throughout, with activities like listing things you’d like to learn more about, comparing examples of nagging versus teaching, and thinking of creative solutions for broken objects. Philosophy is something that isn’t really taught in schools and so many people don’t really understand philosophy at all. Introduce young minds to the fascinating world of philosophy with books designed especially for kids aged 8 to 13.
