Bookroo's summary

Dive into a world where imagination defines who we are. Join René Descartes in exploring how our unique visions shape our true selves. As children ponder their own imaginations, they learn to appreciate diverse perspectives, fostering empathy and understanding. This journey reveals how imagination not only makes us 'us' but also helps us connect with others in our community. Perfect for young philosophers, this book is part of a series that introduces big ideas like equality, truth, and kindness through engaging stories. How will your imagination shape your world?

From the publisher

An exciting board book series that asks deep questions in a wonderfully accessible way.

Even little children have big questions about life. Imaginations are unique to every human on earth and René Descartes believed that is what makes every person their own true self. By thinking about what we imagine and how all people imagine differently, kids can work on understanding others’ perspectives and points of view and become more empathetic. Imagination with René Descartes will help them see how using your imagination makes you “you” and understanding the same about friends and family is an important part of getting along in a community.
