The Acorn and the Owl

Aristotle's Metaphysics

The Acorn and the Owl is a heartwarming tale of September, a small acorn who falls from her tree and feels lost and alone on the forest floor until she meets Atlas, a wise owl who teaches her about potential and growth. Through their conversations, September learns that even in her current state, she holds the potential to grow into a mighty oak tree, a realization that transforms her view of herself and her future. This beautifully illustrated story weaves together themes of friendship, self-discovery, personal growth, and the natural cycle of life. Moreover, it creatively introduces Aristotle's metaphysics, especially his concepts of potentiality and actuality, illustrating these philosophical ideas in an accessible and engaging way.

It is the fourth book in the series "Philosophy for Kids."
