Join Tim and Kate on an extraordinary adventure to fix Kate's beloved toy bear. As the pair search for a mystical teapot in the sky, they encounter a host of fascinating characters and engage in deep conversations about faith, belief, skepticism, atheism, and humanism. Each page is filled with beautiful full-color illustrations and accompanied by dialogue that is intended to introduce the reader to the Socratic method of questioning (or 'street epistemology').

Our special tale about critical thinking is not just for the young skeptic. It is a story that will resonate with freethinkers of all ages. Children will enjoy the rhyming narration, while adults will appreciate the deeper underlying message and philosophical easter eggs. Ultimately, the book will encourage the reader to think hard about why they believe what they believe - and if they are justified in doing so.

This is a heartwarming journey that celebrates the beauty of diverse perspectives, the power of friendship, and the joy of thinking for oneself. With its powerful blend of thought-provoking themes, original storyline, and timeless value, the book offers an unforgettable experience for everyone.
