How did people learn to fly, glow in the dark, and land on the Moon? By going back to the beginning.
Axi is back — and this time the big questions are about building, creating, and solving problems no one had ever solved before. In three time-travel adventures, curious kids meet three of history's boldest thinkers and discover the method behind every great invention — First Principles Thinking: instead of copying what others did, you go back to the beginning and figure out what MUST be true.

Marie Curie works in a tiny, leaky shed and refuses to accept what other scientists assumed — measuring everything herself until a mysterious glow changes science forever.
The Wright Brothers ignore everyone else's failed flying machines, study the birds instead, and test 200 wing shapes to lift humans into the sky.
Margaret Hamilton and the Apollo team break an "impossible" problem into small, solvable pieces — and put people on the Moon.

Along the way, young readers learn The Builder's Three Rules: follow the mystery, try-fail-learn-repeat, and break big problems down and work together.
Perfect for curious kids ages 8-10 who love science, invention, and asking "but WHY?" — and for parents and teachers who want to raise confident problem-solvers.
The Little Philosophers series teaches kids HOW to think, not what to think — using First Principles Thinking, one big idea at a time:

Book 1: How to Ask Big Questions — the art of curiosity and philosophy
Book 2: How Machines Think — computers, code, and smart machines
Book 3: How People Build Amazing Things — discovery, flight, and reaching the Moon

Each book stands alone, but together they build a complete thinking toolkit for young minds.
