Answering life's big questions for little children, this board book explains Aristotle's beliefs about happiness and friendship in a simple, accessible way.
Even little children can become philosophers by asking big questions about the world around them. Aristotle believed that the best way to live a happy life was to fill it with true friends.

This book will inspire little ones to have exciting thoughts and conversations about these big ideas.
'A philosopher is a person who loves wisdom.
Wisdom means knowing things that help you live better and be happy.'
