Young Philosophers Series
The Young Philosophers Series is dedicated to listening to and valuing children as natural philosophers. These unconventional and creative books are designed to get children’s imaginations flowing.
Why in the World Are We Here?
Navigate how we experience time and place, in the mix between physical and psychological spaces, and how these become a core part of our cultural norms. Travel with two creatures, Eia and Whhat, who have spent as long as they can remember on their tiny island wondering why in the world they were there. One day they get fed up with wondering and decide to just go and ask someone else. They set sail. After many moon-suns, they reach the Island of Fun.

The Fake Dictionary
The Fake Dictionary challenges 8 to 12-year-olds to be ‘wordsmiths’, the builders of new words. As the title implies, this is a very original dictionary. Part text and part illustration, young readers are asked to think up the meaning of both. Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll, Roald Dahl and other writers of comedy were creators of new words. We believe their comic spirit is alive in children of today.

The One Thing & Anothers
Perhaps the most quirky philosophical book of all, The One Thing & Anothers tells the story of two aliens, Rio and Huxley.

Trying to escape the boredom makes them hitch a ride into the night sky where they come across a beautiful planet. Yes, it’s Earth, barely disguised under the name Earthia. Once again, young bright minds are called on to write the next chapter in the story.

Past Life Library
The Past Life Library is a collection of five journals, each with an accompanying soundtrack. Throughout the series, the five heroines: Inka, Charli, Aisa, Rose and Raphaella, come to know their complex, often contradictory thoughts. By writing, singing and drawing their experiences in their journals, we find both their inside and outside stories, and how they find and create radiant lives. The collection is a celebration of life in all of its enchanting colours.
Eternal Inka: Illustrated
Eternal Inka is a novel for 12 to 14-year-olds which leads to questions around what art even is. Does everyone make something? Are we all artists? What makes something beautiful? What does it mean to see through someone’s gaze? Do we all see things differently?
