'A thousand mile journey starts with one step...'
'Adventures in Philosophy - Stories & Quests for Thinking Heroes' is written by author Brendan O'Donoghue and published by Gill books. This thoughtful book aims to promote curiosity among children and encourage them to question the world around them. Readers discover the tools for map-making in philosophy, and follow their very own thought compass, which will direct them an enlightening philosophical adventure.
It was a real pleasure to illustrate the collection illustrated stories and wondrous folk tales, each evoking meaningful philosophical questions. An illustrated end section devoted to philosopher biographies contains 10 illustrated portraits of thinking heroes from Mary-Jane Rubenstein to Karl Marx.

‘Paula McGloin's illustrations contribute to the accessibility of this exercise in clarity of thought, wonder and knowledge of previous thinkers.’
