Coś i Nic; Wczoraj i Jutro

They are particularly aimed at children who are just beginning to socialise and form relationships with their peers. The authors approach these complex topics in a way that is appealing to children, delving into the nature of joy and self-acceptance. The book considers human values that are integral to our lives – but which are sometimes hard to nurture in the modern world. In Something and Nothing, the authors confront the importance of self-acceptance in the face of outside judgement, showing how much influence the opinions of others can have on us – even when they’re entirely off the mark. They help children understand the importance of shielding themselves from the negative effects of outside judgement. The next book in the series, Yesterday and Tomorrow is a lightly philosophical treatment of the meaning of the past and future. It asks readers to consider the relative importance of memories, past experiences and nostalgia in contrast to hope, plans and change. It inspires readers to set themselves in the ‘here and now’ and offers a wonderful lesson in finding joy in the world and spotting happiness even when it isn’t obvious at first glance.
