Overview
After immersing themselves in mantras in I AM Manifesto, young siblings Hao Finley and Sabine Yi Lee are on their journey of seeking and sharing knowledge from around the world. In Humongous (& Cool) Words for Kids, these philomaths not only learn about words from their own and other kids' cultures and countries, they also absorb facts about stuff they've taken for granted. What's really cool is that they describe humongous words that not even their parents know. Name the subject, these philomaths are sharing: science and math (big, uncomplicated check!), different languages ("oui, sí, shì" check!), environmental awareness (layered-atmosphere check!), etiquette (thank you, check!), music (treble clef check!), international cuisine (lots of yummy checks!), and many more. All shared with wit (or at least they believe so).
