Description: How Do You Know What You Know? by Noa Jones, Daniel Rieley Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Board Book Condition Brand New Description "A child peppers their father with questions about where things, people, ideas, and language come from as they explore their city on a snowy day."-- Publisher Description A charming and inquisitive story that celebrates tracing the origin of ideas, language, and every day objects, for children 4-8.Where does snow come from? What language did the word thermos come from? And who was the Buddhas teacher?So many problems in the world come from accepting information at face value without looking into where it comes from. How Do You Know What You Know? follows a child and their father on a cozy, snowy day outing. The child asks questions about how things came to be the way they are. The questions range from how the father knows how to tie a shoe to why its not a good idea to eat yellow snow. These queries are met by the father with patience and humor that weave a delightful narrative of intergenerational knowledge sharing. In this exchange, respectful inquiry is beautifully modeled for young learners.The journey includes an amble in the park, a trip to the library, a bus ride, and a visit to a local Buddhist temple where the father is a student. The teacher there introduces the child to the idea of lineage, that wisdom and understanding comes from generations of knowledge passed down from person to person. With a quaint and welcoming simplicity, the illustrations bring this beautiful story to life, and every spread has a subtle nod to the progression of how things come to be the way they are. The story encourages childrens natural curiosity and shows them that everywhere they look there is a story to be told if we just ask. Author Biography NOA JONES is an educator, editor, and author.
