Die neunj hrige Elle Harris hatte ein kleines Problem. Aufgewachsen in einem s kularen Haushalt, in einer von Religion dominierten Umgebung, ist Elle eine der wenigen Kinder in der 3. Klasse die nicht religi s ist. Als sie sich mit Freunden und Klassenkameraden unterhielt, fand sie heraus, dass diese viele Schwierigkeiten damit hatten sich jemanden vorzustellen, der weder in die Kirche geht noch betet. Einige andere wunderten sich wie Elle das Richtige vom Falschen unterscheiden kann, ohne dass sie es von den religi sen Lehrern oder aus den heiligen B chern erf hrt.Die Unterhaltungen die Elle f hrte waren nicht voreingenommen oder umstritten, sondern das Ergebnis ehrlicher Neugier. Nach der Schule bat Elle ihren Vater um Hilfe, ihre Gef hle und Meinungen auf eine Weise zu erkl ren, die f r die anderen in der Schule Sinn machen w rde. Aus diesen Unterhaltungen kamen die Ideen, die allm hlich zu dem Buch Elle die Humanistin f hrten... eine warme, klar ausgedr ckte Einleitung in den Humanismus f r junge Leser.

It features a foreword by renowned philosopher and author Daniel Dennett. Elle had a small problem. Growing up in a secular household, but in a community dominated by one religion, Elle was one of the few kids in her third-grade class who wasn't religious. When she talked to friends and classmates, she found that many of them had a hard time imagining someone who didn't go to church or pray. Some others wondered how Elle could know right from wrong without religious leaders or sacred books to tell her. The conversations Elle found herself having weren't judgmental or contentious, but the result of honest curiosity. After school, Elle would ask her dad to help her explain what she believed and how she felt in a way that would make sense to the other kids at school. From those talks came ideas that eventually became Elle the Humanist a warm, clearly expressed introduction to humanism for young readers.
