In Small Talk, Amy Julia Becker delves into the 'big questions' children ask, the thoughts they provoke, and the laughter, investigation, and soul-searching that follow, for parent and child alike. As she moves through the basic questions her kids posed when they were very young to the more intellectual questions of later childhood, she invites parents to learn from day-to-day conversations with their own children. This eloquent parenting book is about they big questions little hearts ask.
