The Bird and the Elephant: Philosophy for young minds

The Bird and The Elephant starts with an introduction and is then broken up into 10 poetic discussions. It also features 11 beautifully drawn illustrations.

A bird is flying high one day when he decides he needs to take a rest. He glances down below and aims for a large rock. But it isn't a rock! He shockingly discovers he's landed on an elephant's back. They begin having a conversation. The bird is impatient and hot headed while the elephant is calming and wise. Through their discussions the bird learns a lot about life and ultimately, himself.

The discussions are:

• Who are we?
• Where do we come from?
• Why are we here?
• Friendship
• Why do bad things happen?
• Happiness
• Morality
• Destiny
• Love
• Philosophy
