I have used Michele Lemieux’s book Stormy Night<\/em> <\/a>in elementary school philosophy classes. It\u2019s a great resource for an introductory session to help the students start to recognize philosophical questions and to think about the questions they have.<\/p>\n

Stormy Night<\/em> is wonderfully illustrated with black and white line drawings. It starts off with a young girl going to bed. Kept awake by a storm, she lies there, thinking, \u201cI can\u2019t sleep! Too many questions are buzzing through my head.\u201d All of us, including children, know this feeling.<\/p>\n

The remainder of the book is filled with this young girl’s questions and her thoughts about life and death, and their illustrations. \u201cWhere does infinity end?\u201d \u201cIs there only one of me in the world?\u201d \u201cWill I always make the right decisions? And how will I know if they\u2019re right?\u201d \u201cWill I know when it\u2019s time to die?\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
