A playful children's philosophy book about ethics, morality, right and wrong, and making thoughtful choices, for curious kids ages 9–12.
Is something right because everyone says it is?
Can something be wrong even if nobody gets caught?
How do we decide what we should do when there isn't an easy answer?
And what happens when two people disagree about what's right?
ThinkAboutIt: Behave Yourself! takes young readers on a philosophical adventure into ethics, morality, values, and the questions we face when deciding how we ought to behave.
Follow Sophia the Wise as she explores big questions about right and wrong, considers different ideas and possible answers, and meets fascinating thinkers from throughout history and around the world.
Along the way, readers encounter kid-friendly thought experiments that invite them to imagine unusual situations, test their intuitions, and think through what they believe.
But this isn't a book that tells kids what is right and what is wrong.
Instead, it encourages them to ask questions, listen to different perspectives, examine their reasons, and develop their own thoughtful views.
With DIY activities, worksheets, conversation, and creative experiments, young readers get to explore ethical questions for themselves.
Because sometimes the most interesting questions aren't the ones with easy answers.
They're the ones that make you stop and think.
