Big Ideas for Curious Minds: An Introduction to Philosophy

An introduction to philosophy for kids aged nine and up from The School of Life, with Alain de Botton as series editor. Twenty-six chapters each pair an everyday situation with an idea from one of 25 thinkers, from Plato to Wittgenstein to Simone de Beauvoir, in a question-and-answer format with full-color illustrations by Anna Doherty. Named one of The Guardian's best kids' books of 2018.

Kids already ask the biggest questions on their own. What I love is that this book answers them with real philosophers instead of watered-down morals. The chapters start from moments kids would recognize (like feeling lonely or tired of being told what to do).
