Summary:
Elle
the
Humanist
is a beautifully illustrated book by nine-year-old
Elle
Harris, presenting
humanist
ideas and ethics in a way that's warm, welcoming, and accessible for young readers. It features a foreword by renowned philosopher and author Daniel Dennett.
Elle
had a small problem. Growing up in a secular household, but in a community dominated by one religion,
Elle
was one of the few kids in her third-grade class who wasn't religious. When she talked to friends and classmates, she found that many of them had a hard time imagining someone who didn't go to church or pray. Some others wondered how
Elle
could know right from wrong without religious leaders or sacred books to tell her. The conversations
Elle
found herself having weren't judgmental or contentious, but the result of honest curiosity. After school,
Elle
would ask her dad to help her explain what she believed and how she felt in a way that would make sense to the other kids at school. From those talks came ideas that eventually became
Elle
the
Humanist
a warm, clearly expressed introduction to humanism for young readers.
