El libro del saber (The Knowing Book)

This picture book is a celebration of life and the perfect gift to mark any milestone, from a new baby to a birthday to graduation. Illustrated by Caldecott Medalist Matthew—now in a Spanish paperback format.

Illustrated by 2018 Caldecott Medalist Matthew Cordell and written by award-winning author Rebecca Kai Dotlich, The Knowing Book is an inspiring and wise picture book that will encourage readers to trust themselves and live life to its fullest. The story begins and ends with the sky that is always above you. In between, a young rabbit travels through the wide world, experiencing joy and sorrow and all the wonder that the world has to offer. Along the way he chooses a path, explores the unknown, and ventures along trails on and off the map. And at the end of the journey, braver and more confident, he returns home, to the place you can always count on and will always know. This beautiful celebration of life is ideal for any special gift-giving occasion, and is an excellent choice for any graduate!
