When you put these kinds of things into a picture book, somehow it becomes so profound! While this is a book for kids, it might be a great one to use with older kids when talking about discerning AI or fake news or conspiracy theories. My guess is there will be a lot of people of a certain political persuasion who will NOT like this book. Another Goodreads reader said it should be paired with The Rooster Who Would Not Be Quiet. I'll definitely check that one out too!
Goodreads says:
In these days of fake news and lies masquerading as truth, comes a read-aloud to prove the truth is out there, just waiting to be discovered.
Follow a sad little fact who is locked away for telling the truth. In its underground prison, it meets other facts, all hidden away because they could not lie. Finally, with the help of a few skillful fact-finders, the facts are able to spread truth- something that ultimately can't be denied.
Though some people continue to ignore them, the facts are out in the world ready for anyone who wants to hear, because "a fact is a fact," and that's that.
