Description: A deeply kind, respectful, engaging book for young readers.  In language suitable to the "under 10 set," Eli Siegel nevertheless manages the seemingly impossible:  he presents--with no compromise in terms of their  philosophic depth and precision--essays on some of life's most serious matters: what beauty is, what economic justice is, what literature is for, what causes anger, and the meaning of true friendship.   And more.
