Children like to ask why. They want to know how things got to be this way? What is the nature of this world we are thrust into, and how come it is set up like this? In this collection of stories for the children in all of us, connection phenomenologist Natureza Gabriel explores the original language, the fireplace at the center of the village, how humans are like water, and other things it might be useful for children to understand if they want to grow up to be adults whose hearts are telling their minds what to do.
