THE IDEA FOR THIS BOOK
From an early age there was always a back and forth with this father daughter team pushing each other to think through questions or problems to come up with an answer. It did not matter if an answer was right or wrong but having a way to talk through situations was most important. "Asking Awesome Questions" is the third installment in The Fearless Girl and The Little Guy with Greatness series.
WHO IS THIS BOOK WRITTEN FOR
This book is for children 6 - 12 years of age who want to ask awesome questions. If you are a parent / caregiver that wants to spend more time with your child, or a teacher, or a librarian looking to engage with a group of kids, this book is also for you.
WHAT YOU WILL FIND INSIDE OF THIS BOOK
62+ pages in a workbook format to allow for an interactive learning experience across five sections:
Section 1: Curiosity: Curiosity is the desire to explore the world around you. It motivates you to seek out information about things that interest you. It's the fundamental tool to making any discovery!
Section 2: Observational Skills: Observation is the act of seeing details and patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. It is an outstanding talent to be able to notice things that are out of the ordinary. When you pay attention to your surroundings, you are not only taking in everything, but also broadening your perspective.
Section 3: Problem-Solving: Solving problems is a common practice of everyday life. It's important to learn how to approach challenges with a positive attitude. By brainstorming multiple solutions to a problem, evaluating the pros and cons of each, you are certain to find the right one!
Section 4: The Art of Asking Questions: When you are curious about something, be sure to ask someone about it. Ask open-ended questions that require more than a simple yes or no answer. The information you gain from those questions will advance your critical thinking skills.
Section 5: Logic and Reasoning: To understand cause-and-effect relationships and make thorough connections between different pieces of information, you need to use logic and reasoning. Think logically and systematically. Before coming to a conclusion, you should always consider all the available evidence. Only then will you achieve the best possible outcome!
