The Morgan County Partnership's Positive Action program presents "Whose Knees Are These" By Jabari Asim; illustrated by LeUyen Pham, for a series of stories on Race & Diversity. "This interactive and multicultural board book is a fun way to embrace diversity through a baby’s dimpled knees! Great for babies and toddlers, but also illustrates to elementary students that we ALL have knees, right? Some come in different shapes and colors. "Lilting language and bold shapes in flat colors encourage response as the narration asks who do these knees belong to? And in another book by Asim, your child will discover Whose Toes Are Those? The author's background as a poet is evident in the simple and evocative writing." "I love all my books but Whose Knees Are These? is my favorite. It reminds me of when I was little and my mom would tickle my knees when she read this to me.” -Sam, Age 9 --from PBS.org "Pause, Discuss, and Do" with these "Let's talk about it" questions from Violet: 1. How would you describe your knees? 2. What makes the little boys knees special? 3. How are his knees different from yours? How are they similar? 4. All people, and animals too, have knees! Now, draw a picture of as many different types of knees as you can?

Finally, what about animals....they have knees too! Have a fun discussion about the purpose of knees for our bodies, how they work; then, explore how our knees are quite alike!
