Stine Jensen is a philosopher, writer and also a television show creator. We were asked to work with Stine on her first children’s book.

We came up with the idea that philosoper Stine lives with her cat in a castle in the middle of a forest. She receives handwritten letters in her mailbox with all kinds of questions. Stine is answering the questions by writing letters back. The books is a collection of the questions and answers.

For this book writer and philosopher Stine Jensen has received the Dutch Literature price 'De Zilveren Griffel' of 2015.

'An accessible introduction to the world of philosophy, also for adults. The book encourages children to think and reflect.'
