Shared reality is critical to a democracy. In a time of alternative facts and the loss of that shared sense of reality, A Foot Is Not a Fish! playfully illustrates the difference between what is true and what is not by the use of absurd fun comparisons that every child–and every parent–will instantly understand.
Parents: Send your own verses to footnotfish@gmail.com and Cornelia will post some on Amazon Author site.
From the book: “Something real is called a fact. A fact is what is true. We can’t just say that red is green, or that what is old is new.”
