Hi! We’re Inquiry Inc. and we’re a group of friends that like to solve problems together. Got a problem
that won’t go away? Inquiry Inc. will save the day!
Silvia
Hola! Bon jour! My name is Silvia. I am a girl and I use the pronouns she/her. I love working with Inquiry Inc. I like to build, solve problems, and learn new languages. When I was just three years old, I moved from Ecuador to the United States with my mom, dad, and brother Juan. My family taught me to speak Spanish and English, but I’m teaching myself French, too. Do you want to know a secret? I have a sidekick! Her name is Scarlet, and she is a bright red betta fish. I like to talk to her in all the languages I know, because talking out loud is a good way to solve problems.
Carlos
Hi! What’s your name? Where are you from? Do you like to solve problems? How did you find this book? Oh goodness, I’ve forgotten to
introduce myself! My name is Carlos, and I sometimes get carried away asking questions. I am a boy and I use the pronouns he/him. I think asking good questions is the best way to learn more about the world. When I’m with Inquiry Inc., I like to brainstorm, take careful notes, and ask my friends about their thoughts and feelings. Together, we always find a way to save the day!
Lee
Hey there! I’m Lee. I am non-binary and I use the pronouns they/them. I have a twin brother named Hunter, an orange tabby cat named Whiskers, and I like to do magic tricks. There is some magic involved in Inquiry Inc. When we create a plan that solves a problem, it feels just like pulling a rabbit out of a top hat. Only there’s no secret to problem-solving…if you put your thinking cap on, you can help us do magic too!
Anna
Hi, friends! My name is Anna and I am a girl. I use the pronouns she/her. I’m new to Inquiry Inc. I just moved into town with my moms and sister. Moving was kind of scary, but the best part of my new house is a big backyard with lots of room for pet chickens! I love to read, and I carry a book with me all of the time. When I was moving, it was nice to know that books could be with me wherever I went. They kept me company when I didn’t know anybody in town, but now that I have my Inquiry Inc. friends we can read stories together and learn new information to help us fix sticky situations.
