Answering life's big questions for little children, this board book explains Socrates' beliefs about truth in a simple, accessible way.

Even little children can become philosophers by asking big questions about the world around them. Socrates believed that telling the truth and living a life full of wonder can make us wise. In Truth with Socrates, this idea is explained for the youngest thinkers, from being honest even when it is scary or hard, to questioning everything around us to learn and grow. 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.
