From the tradition of The Giving Tree comes a new modern classic about what we gain and what we lose when we teach a machine to think. What happens when humans build a light so brilliant it can wonder for them? And what does it take to find their way back? The Giving Mind is a beautifully illustrated picture book for children ages 4-8 and the grown-ups who read with them. With gentle, lyrical text and warm, painterly illustrations, it opens the door to real conversations about technology, creativity, and what it means to stay curious in a world of instant answers. Includes a built-in Parent and Teacher Guide with page-by-page discussion questions, reading tips for younger and older children, and connections to research on learning and human agency. Book One in The Giving Mind Series.
