Description
Explore the importance of love with the youngest readers in a wonderfully accessible way. Even little children have big questions about life. Plato believed showing and receiving love makes us wise, and Love with Plato brings his philosophy to the youngest thinkers. Asking young readers what being loved feels like to them and how they can show others love prompts questions about how we treat one another and ourselves. This book will lead to inspiring conversations about loving people for what is on the inside, and helping others do the same. Look for all six Big Ideas for Little Philosophers board books- Equality with Simone de Beauvoir, Happiness with Aristotle,Imagination with Rene Descartes, Kindness with Confucius, Love with Plato, and Truth with Socrates.

Reviews"A sweet approach to encouraging meaningful discussions. . . Love With Plato deals with ideas that are more abstract and, therefore, more complex, inviting children to think rather than act. We read that we can love things we can see but that "Plato said it is most important to love ideas, like GOODNESS, TRUTH, AND BEAUTY." Text and illustrations depict examples of all three followed by a prompt that asks readers to consider what is important in their own lives. ." -Kirkus Reviews
