An exploration of children's literature - from J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan to Young Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe - and the lessons these stories teach about the world around them.

Description
Books can be so powerful, helping us through tricky times, offering us wisdom we haven't learnt yet, showing us that there are people like us, or showing us the opposite, that other people live very different lives. Books can be a friend when you need one the most, and you can use them to help and inspire others too.
Big Ideas from Literature helps children discover key ideas that lots of different books are trying to teach through the stories they tell—and helps a growing child develop empathy and resilience. This book teaches children (and adults!) about the history of literature, from the first ever story that was written down to the invention of books just for children. The best children's books become our dearest friends and companions.
Children discover characters from a diverse range of books—including Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan, and The Boy in the Dress by David Walliams—and learn how these stories can help them better understand the world around them.

About the Author
The School of Life publishes a range of books, games and learning tools for children introducing curious young minds to brilliant ideas from psychology, philosophy, literature, science, art, architecture and beyond, that can help them grow into happy, healthy and emotionally mature adults. Our team of psychologists, writers and designers work together to produce engaging, beautifully illustrated, age-appropriate teaching that can be put to work in everyday life. We never dumb down or over-simplify; rather, trusting in the intelligence and curiosity of our young readers, we aim to make our wisdom as engaging and relatable as possible. We seek to provide what the traditional curriculum often lacks: an emotional education.
