Are You My Meaning? Barbara Rietveld

Sometimes finding the right answer isn t as important as asking the right question. Are You My Meaning? is an engaging story about language and meaning. BeeBee starts out by asking what words mean and discovers that words aren t the only thing with meaning. Once she figures that out, there is no end to the questions she asks. What s it all about anyway love? work? family? the quest? If this sounds like questions that you occasionally ask yourself, read the story to your kids. Maybe they ll have some answers. Or not. At the very least, the story will generate questions from children and whoever is reading to them. It s a great beginning for a conversation about who we are, and how we find what we want, one conversation that is never too early --- or too late --- to have.
