I Know Things - by Karla Clark (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

We all know that kids are constantly learning and growing in their understanding of the world around them. But what about all the things they already know? With playful affirmations and a lively narrator, this book announces in a big, joyful way all the many things kids understand. The examples range from small and insignificant to deep and everlasting: that a cuddle can speak louder than words, that skipping can chase away the blues, that adults don't have all the answers. The narrator also embraces the fact that there's so much more to come--more life to be experienced, more learning to gained.

Perfect for back-to-school, graduation, or any other time of transition in a child's life, this empowering read will remind kids who might be nervous or worried that they are ready to take on whatever comes their way!
