Barnett captures the irrepressible curiosity of children with their constant questions (particularly at bedtime!). In this conversation between a girl and her father, Dad entertains her with wonderfully creative answers. Arsenault’s expressive art illustrates show those visions and the universal appeal of tender give-and-take between a parent and a child.
