In words and images sure to delight children and adults alike, Is That Story True? explores the kinds of "truth" that live within the stories we tell.
As Maggie listens to a story about a little girl who grew up on the prairies, about a ruler who cut a knot in two, about a shepherd who went looking for a lost sheep, about a king who made a foolish wish, and finally, about a giant who lived in a beautiful garden, she discovers that some stories are true because they actually happened. Other stories are true because they tell us something true about a real person, place, or event, even if what they describe did not happen. And some stories are true - even if they are completely made up - because they tell us something true about our own experiences.
As Maggie tells Mommy, "I think that some stories are true on the inside, even if they are not true on the outside."
