Critics Review

A chance to leave all adult frippery behind and ponder what’s really important - our children have known it all along. This book is cleansing, reassuring, funny, and frequently profound; I loved it. – Susie DentThis book is for anyone who has secret questions in their mind they are too embarrassed to ask out loud. In other words, this book is for everyone. – Lemony Snicket, bestselling author of A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTSIf you’ve ever spent any time around young children, you’ll know that they take nothing for granted and that the world and everything in it is all news to them. The questions they ask are by turns serious, hilarious, deep, silly, and completely off the wall. Liana Finck’s delightful drawings perfectly complement the text … A terrific book for anyone who has ever been around kids, or has been a kid themselves. – New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast, author of I MUST BE DREAMINGA miracle … Questions Without Answers captures the bewildering wonderment of a child’s mind. It’s the most profoundly silly and wise book I’ve read in years, and should be required reading for every philosophy graduate student or anyone considering having kids. Also I’ll never think of sunroofs quite the same way again. – Bess Kalb, author of NOBODY WILL TELL YOU THIS BUT MEI loved this book. Each page is a love letter scribbled to my present self, from some space that still exists within me from childhood. It made me whole and left me heartbroken, all at once. – Joana Avillez, author of D C-T!Sweet, smart, and shockingly insightful, this collection of questions asked by kids will leave you smiling and stumped. It reminds you of what it’s like to be curious about everything, and it shows, conclusively, that kids are first-rate philosophers who can reshape the way we see the world. – Scott Hershovitz, professor of philosophy at University of Michigan
