Little Big Minds Sharing Philosophy With Kids

A guide for parents and educators to sharing the enduring ideas of the biggest minds throughout the centuries, from Plato to Bell Hooks, with the 'littlest' minds.

Children are no strangers to cruelty and courage, to love and to loss, and in this unique book teacher and educational consultant Marietta McCarty reveals that they are, in fact, natural philosophers. Drawing on a program she has honed in schools around the country over the last fifteen years, Little Big Minds guides parents and educators in introducing philosophy to young children in order to develop their critical thinking, deepen their appreciation for others, and brace them for the philosophical quandaries that lurk in all of our lives, young or old.
