How Do You Know What You Know

A charming and inquisitive story that celebrates tracing the origin of ideas, language, and every day objects, for children 4–8. 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 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. 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. By Noa Jones Illustrated by Daniel Rieley
