Is That True?

Is That True? is a gentle, beautifully illustrated picture book that helps children learn one of life’s most important skills: how to pause, wonder, and ask questions.

Every day, children hear new ideas, from friends, adults, books, and the world around them. Some ideas are true. Some are not. And many take time to understand. Instead of rushing to answers, this story invites young readers to slow down and ask a simple question: Is that true?

Through calm language and soft watercolor illustrations, children are encouraged to:

• Feel comfortable not knowing the answer right away

• Ask questions without fear or shame

• Listen to more than one idea

• Learn by wondering, trying, and thinking

• Understand that changing your mind is part of learning

Is That True? does not tell children what to think. It shows them how to think, with curiosity, patience, and confidence.

Perfect for:

• Ages 4-9

• Parents and caregivers

• Teachers and classrooms

• Counselors and SEL programs

• Families who value curiosity and thoughtful learning

Written by Dr. Christen, an educator who believes every child deserves to feel safe asking questions, this book supports early critical thinking, social-emotional learning, and a lifelong love of discovery. He has also written a best seller called ＂The Price of Illiteracy, Why Science Ignorance Threatens our Future＂ for adults.

Because asking questions isn’t a weakness, it’s how smart, confident learners grow.
