These poem-based stories explore different answers to their respective questions, with some answers whimsical, others rooted in folklore or science, and many of them inspired by real answers from real kids. By presenting inclusivity in a subtle, organic way, this series also strives to present young readers with generalized exposure to different cultural ideologies, fostering acceptance of diversity at an early age. The primary concept, however, is that by embracing the chaos of bedtime, and indulging busy little minds with creative poems and beautiful artwork, children will be able to rest calmer, easier, and more satisfied, allowing for the much-coveted smooth transition to sleep.

This was a fun read about how birds fly. Every child has a theory, but which one is the right one?
This is a very nice book to read to the little ones at night time. I’m sure they will look for an answer while sleeping.
