Children have a knack of asking great, but challenging, questions: Why is the sea salty? How far away is space? Why can't I tickle myself? What makes me me? But how are we supposed to answer them? Imagine if we could turn to a leading expert & ask them to answer on our behalf. This book gathers over 100 real questions from children & puts them to some of our best-loved & most knowledgeable experts. Alain de Botton explores ' How are dreams made?', Kate Humble explains ' Why do lions roar?' & Heston Blumenthal answers ' Why do we cook food?' Their answers to the Big Questions
- some complex, some searching, some surreal & some just plain cute
- make this an essential handbook for anyone who wants to explain the complexities of life to their children.
