Questions Asked

Author(s): Jostein Gaarder

Picture Books | Books to make kids think

Questions Asked shows confidence in a child's capacity to think deeply and read between the lines. The book follows a little boy traveling alone in an open landscape. Soon we realise he is on a journey of thoughts and dreams, asking questions about loss, myth, language, magic, and what it means to be a human being. Jostein Gaarder's philosophical questions merge with the beautiful illustrations of Akin Duezakin into a tale of friendship, love, and grief - and about daring to think about life as you live it.
