Who Was Confucius? is about a wise and thoughtful teacher from ancient China who lived over 2,000 years ago. He believed that people should treat each other with kindness, respect, and fairness. He also thought that learning, hard work, and doing the right thing were very important. The book shares stories from his life, explains the lessons he taught, and shows how he became one of the most important teachers in history. Even today, many people still follow his ideas to help them make good choices and live peacefully with others.

This book is a great way for kids to learn about Confucius and the helpful things he taught. The words are easy to read, so it’s simple to understand. The pictures make the story more interesting and help explain what’s going on. I think kids who like learning about the past, other cultures, and important people will really enjoy this book. Four out of five stars.
