What if one thoughtful question could change the way a child sees the world?
Meet Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher who showed people that wisdom often begins with curiosity.
In Socrates and the Magic of Questions, children travel to ancient Athens and discover how Socrates used thoughtful questions to explore honesty, courage, beauty, trust, justice, and what it means to live a good life.
Through colorful full-page illustrations, child-friendly storytelling, imagined conversations inspired by Socrates' ideas, and open-ended questions, this illustrated nonfiction book invites young readers to do more than memorize facts. It encourages them to pause, think, explain their ideas, listen to others, and form questions of their own.
Young readers will:
- Meet Socrates and learn about life in ancient Athens
- Discover the basic idea behind the Socratic method
- Practice asking thoughtful, open-ended questions
- Explore honesty, courage, patience, trust, and wisdom
- Strengthen critical-thinking and communication skills
- Learn how Plato helped preserve Socrates' ideas
- Start a personal question journal
Designed for curious children ages 6-9 and students in grades 1-4, this illustrated introduction to philosophy is ideal for family reading, elementary classrooms, homeschool lessons, Ancient Greece history units, social-emotional learning discussions, philosophy-for-children activities, and educational gifts.
Parents and educators can use the questions throughout the book to begin meaningful conversations without forcing children toward one "correct" answer.
Socrates was a real philosopher who left no writings of his own. Much of what is known about him comes from writers such as Plato and Xenophon. Some scenes and conversations in this book have been imagined to introduce his ideas in an accessible, age-appropriate way.
Socrates' greatest gift was not an easy answer. It was the courage to keep asking.
