TRUTH WITH SOCRATES

Maureen McQuerry Robin Rosenthal Duane Armitage

BIG IDEAS FOR LITTLE PHILOSOPHERS is an exciting board book series that asks deep questions in a wonderfully accessible way - because even little children have big questions about life.
Even little children have big questions about life. Socrates believed being truthful and asking questions about the world can make us wise, and Truth with Socrates brings his philosophy to the youngest thinkers. From the importance of being honest even if it's hard or makes you scared to always asking questions to understand more about everything around you, this book will lead to inspiring conversations about human dynamics between people of all ages.

He believes that conversations about the nature of wisdom and how to live rightly are essential for people of all ages. He lives with his wife Claire and parrot Coco in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
