FilosofitosAncient philosophy, told with care
Filosofitos is Peter Rogers' project to bring the Stoic wisdom of Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus to kids, families, and classrooms, through warm illustrations and language kids actually understand.
Why Stoicism for kids
Stoic philosophy has helped adults manage their emotions for two thousand years. We believe kids deserve the same tools, told at their level: with humor, with illustrations, and without lectures. Every Filosofitos book turns one Stoic idea into something a child can actually use the next time they're angry, frustrated, or not sure what to do with what they're feeling.
The author
Peter Rogers is the pen name I write these books under. I'm not a psychologist or a teacher, and these books are no substitute for either. What I have done is spend a long time with Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus — and longer still figuring out how to put them in words a child can follow on their own.
Four titles so far, used by families at home and teachers in the classroom.
If one of these books helps a single child get through a bad day a little better, it will have been worth it.
