Imagine looking at humanity for the very first time.
What would you notice?
Would it be our funny habits? The things we make? The way we communicate? Our relationships with one another? The questions we ask? Or perhaps the things that make each of us unique?
If You Met a Yeti… explores these questions through the curious eyes of a very cute, very furry, and very inquisitive onlooker.
As the Yeti takes a closer look at human beings, young readers are invited to look at themselves, and at humanity, from a completely different perspective.
This colourful and whimsical children's book introduces big philosophical ideas in an accessible, playful way. It encourages children to wonder about human nature, identity, individuality, relationships, communication, and what makes us who we are.
There aren't easy answers. That's the point.
Instead, If You Met a Yeti… invites children to ask questions, consider different possibilities, and start thinking about one of philosophy's biggest questions:
What does it mean to be human?
What makes someone human
Human nature and identity
What makes each person unique
How humans communicate and relate to one another
How looking at ourselves from a different perspective can change what we notice
Asking philosophical questions
Wondering about questions that don't have one simple answer
Thinking about what makes us who we are
