Knietzsche, the world’s youngest philosopher, ponders life’s big questions that often intrigue kids and even more often leave grown-ups stumped, grappling with the how & why in search of a convincing explanation. Being a keen and curious observer, Knietzsche takes on the big categories such as life & death, good & evil, truth & lie, conscience & emotions, time & destiny, beauty & learning. Sometimes funny, sometimes comforting but ever a bright young thing that really speaks to his peers - Knietzsche is in the know without being a know-all.
