Explore the importance of truth with the youngest readers in a wonderfully accessible way.

Even little children have big questions about life. Socrates believed being truthful and asking questions about the world can make us wise, and Truth with Socrates brings his philosophy to the youngest thinkers. From the importance of being honest even if it's hard or makes you scared to always asking questions to understand more about everything around you, this book will lead to inspiring conversations about human dynamics between people of all ages.

Look for all six Big Ideas for Little Philosophers board books: Equality with Simone de Beauvoir, Truth with Socrates, Happiness with Aristotle, Imagination with René Descartes, Kindness with Confucius, Love with Plato, and Truth with Socrates.
“Presents some simple and vital moral truths and should get kids thinking about thinking . . . Sweetly age appropriate . . . It teaches children to value truth and honesty, though, and to build an inquisitive spirit.” –Kirkus Reviews
