The concepts of identity and self-redefinition are central to children's psychological and philosophical development, shaping their self-awareness and social acceptance. This study examines the book I Am Not a Pink Panther from a philosophical perspective, exploring how stories can serve as powerful tools for fostering critical thinking in children. The narrative follows a pink panther dissatisfied with its imposed appearance and identity, who attempts to change its color to establish a new sense of self. However, society continues to recognize and judge it based on its former identity. This research first analyzes the concepts of personal and social identity from a child's perspective, investigating the protagonist's struggle for self-acceptance and the challenges posed by societal expectations and cultural norms. It then explores the psychological and ontological effects of social labels and imposed identities on children, emphasizing the role of philosophical education in fostering self-awareness and empowering them to embrace their authentic identities. The findings indicate that introducing philosophy to children can be an effective way to cultivate critical thinking, enhance self-acceptance, and build resilience to social pressures. This study highlights the significance of philosophical education in helping children develop a deeper understanding of themselves, challenge social labels, and embrace their authentic identities, ultimately fostering both a stable and an adaptable sense of identity in the face of imposed norms.
