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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bala Kids\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781645471097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Noa Jones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43096260575413,"sku":"9781645471097","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_21d93540-39a9-48fe-a3b3-52c280f6d681.jpg?v=1692804496","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/how-do-you-know-what-you-know-9781645471097","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
