Who we are
Our Story
✨ Why Super Stoics?
Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus and six more Stoic figures were real people. Their ideas about courage, kindness and self-control are real too. Inspired by real Stoic thinkers and their teachings. The Super Stoics adventures themselves are original works of fiction.
Super Stoics was created to share these remarkable figures with a new generation of young readers. Not as dusty names in a textbook, but as vivid heroes in original adventures that feel urgent and exciting.
📖 Stories first, lessons always
The magic of Super Stoics is that the stories are genuinely exciting. Kids don't read them because they're educational. They read them because they can't put them down. The wisdom inside those stories is simply part of the adventure.
We believe the most powerful lessons are the ones children discover themselves, through characters they admire and adventures they feel part of.
👨👩👧 For families, together
Super Stoics is designed to be enjoyed together. Whether you're reading aloud at bedtime, sharing a story on a quiet weekend afternoon or revisiting a favourite adventure for the fifth time. These stories create the moments families remember.
Parents often find that the conversations sparked by a Super Stoics story are some of the most meaningful they have with their children.
