Who said philosophy is just for grownups? Kids are always curious, asking questions about the world. This book lets them wonder even more! Plato, Big Head is the story of the philosopher’s childhood in Ancient Greece, his friendship with Socrates, the Academy, the Symposion and much more, enriched by colorful illustrations and engaging activities that will turn every young reader in a little philosopher. What did Plato eat for breakfast? What was his favorite subject? Had he always wanted to become a philosopher? Even great thinkers have been kids and to discover their stories and ideas can be so much fun! Different activities like drawing, counting and writing allow young readers to leave their mark on the page, personalize the book and learn while having fun. The high legibility font allows every kid to easily read on their own.


Alba Sala has been a primary school teacher for more than twenty years. She graduated in Philosophy at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan and now creates activities for her students that make them feel like little philosophers.
