What language did the word \u003ci\u003ethermos \u003c\/i\u003ecome from? And who was the Buddha's teacher? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo many problems in the world come from accepting information at face value without looking into where it comes from. \u003ci\u003eHow Do You Know What You Know?\u003c\/i\u003e 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 it's 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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 children's natural curiosity and shows them that everywhere they look there is a story to be told if we just ask.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNOA JONES is an educator, editor, and author.
