Answering life's big questions for little children, this board book explains Simone de Beauvoir's beliefs about equality and respect in a simple, accessible way.

Even little children can become philosophers by asking big questions about the world around them. Simone de Beauvoir believed that everybody should have the same opportunities to be happy, and to be themselves. In Equality with Simone de Beauvoir, this idea is explained for the youngest thinkers, from treating people with respect to listening to who you are on the inside. 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.'

Answering life's big questions for little children, this board book explains Simone de Beauvoir's beliefs about equality and respect in a simple, accessible way.
