The Calm Emperor
15 stories about Stoicism from Marcus Aurelius · Ages 4-8
Marcus Aurelius was a Roman Emperor who kept a private journal. He wrote about storms, broken things, unkind people, and small moments of beauty. Almost 2,000 years later, his words still help anyone — even a four-year-old — think about what matters. Each of these coloring pages pairs one of his real quotes with a story your child can color.
