Experience the power of asking questions in this magical tale about a young boy, a town full of answers, and the boy's growing sense of wonder and curiosity.
The second picture book from New York Times bestselling author Allie Millington (Olivetti), this moving story celebrates the importance of asking questions and allowing curiosity to bloom. In a town devoted to digging up Answers—one boy discovers something he’s not seen before: a Question. Afraid of what others might think, he tries to hide his Question away. But the more the boy wonders about his Question, the harder it is to hide. It grows and grows, until the boy can’t ignore it anymore—and he decides to let his Question out. That’s when his town changes forever.
