Big Ideas For Young Thinkers

Explore 20 of the biggest questions of our day. This book teaches children to think critically in a world which needs young thinkers. Why do I think? What is bias? What happens when we disagree? And how do we talk to each other?

Jamia Wilson expertly explores the difficult questions kids may ask by introducing a diverse range of thinkers and luminaries.  Each question is introduced in lively prose before a timeline lays out how different thinkers of the world have approached each question. With vibrant art from Andrea Pippins to illustrate each visionary. 

Chapters are organised into five sections: Identity, Life, Truth, Culture, and Creativity. Questions include:  Who are you? Who are we? Why do I think? What is gender? Why do we exist? What happens when we die?  What is right and wrong? What is bias? Do I have it? What is freedom? What is an imagination? What is memory?   

Stylish and accessible, it brings philosophy to the next generation in a warm and inclusive way.
