What Do You Know?
Aracelis Girmay and Ariana Fields, illustrated by Ariana Fields
What might a well, a bear, a farmer, an historian respond when Love asks, "What do you know?" This introspective and poetic picture book, created by sisters Aracelis Girmay and Ariana Fields, explores the acts of questioning and listening, shining a light on all of the wisdom these very different, yet interconnected, entities have to offer.
