From 1955-1958 the italian author Gianni Rodari wrote a regular newspaper column, answering questions sent in by children tackling a wide range of topics from the philosophical, ("Which came first, the chicken or the egg?") to the scientific ("Why does a rainbow appear after it rains?"). These timeless Q&As are still relevant today and provide much food for thought in how we view the world and our place in it.

The Book of Whys contains over 60 illustrations done in colored pencil and the layout design was created in collaboration with Marie Otsuka.
