Big Ideas for Little Thinkers is a brilliant book to explain the ‘why’ the ‘what’ and the ‘who’ of the most difficult questions to kids. From the author and illustrator team who bought you the hugely popular Young, Gifted and Black.
Big Ideas for Young Thinkers
What is justice? What is freedom? What is bias? And who gets to have big ideas? Studies show that children ask caregivers 300 questions a day during meals, trips to the market, and before bedtime. This book teachers children to think critically and discuss ideas in a world that needs bright young thinkers. Jamia Wilson expertly explores the difficult questions that kids may ask by relating them to real-life examples and introducing a diverse range of thinkers and luminaries.
Drawing on influences from ancient Greeks right up to modern-day American writers, the idea of philosophy – and who gets to have big ideas – is reimagined. This book is big, bold and colourful, and sure to be a big hit with young readers.
Big Ideas for Young Thinkers by Jamia Wilson and Andrea Pippins is published by Wide Eyed Editions, part of The Quarto Group.
