Big Ideas For Young Thinkers

The book for inquisitive children with big ideas and busy brains.

Studies show that children ask caregivers 300 questions a day...

This book teaches children to train their busy brains and think outside the box . Get lost for hours exploring puzzling questions that have stumped thinkers for years. More importantly, discover your truth by reading about a diverse range of thinkers. Drawing on influences from ancient Greeks right up to modern-day British writers, philosophy is re-imagined in this book.

Relate to the real-life experiences, explore big ideas from a range of thinkers, and decide where you stand on the issue at hand. For example, try to recall your earliest memory. Can you remember a lot or a little? Do memories make us who we are? Or do we pick and choose them to suit who we are? This is a multi-layered book to be explored again and again, revealing new opinions on every read.

Extra info in the book includes a manifesto for talking about difficult topics and managing disagreements , a glossary of terms, a timeline of key thinkers, and an index of themes.

Chapters are organized around questions, which include:
Who am I?

A world-expanding book to get lost in: either individually, or as a family.
