THE LITTLE PHILOSOPHERS

Listening to Our Nature

Our world is busy.

There is a lot to navigate for a young maturing conscious being.

The intention of my books are to take a moment of a child’s day and

place them at the centre

of the

UNIVERSE.

To respect their integral significance

and

natural intelligence.

To acknowledge what children intuitively know;

PLAY IN NATURE

is the key to deep learning,

and

in fact the source of

EVOLUTION

itself.

Juel Maerz

Nature is within us

...evolving.
