Questions Without Answers by Sarah Manguso, illustrated by Liana Finck. Hogarth, 2025. 9780593733622. 160pp.
The book is full of the best questions kids have ever asked. They’re profound and strange, and arranged into the following subjects: people, animals, things, big things, you, and me.
Finck’s illustrations turn each question into a one-panel comic. If you haven’t fallen in love with Finck’s style already, this book will push you over the edge. I love the way her drawings can be silly and still express a childlike wonder, even though they’ve clearly been drawn by an adult.
I know everyone is going to tell you this is a great book for folks who have kids and love kids and so on. But get a copy for that friend of yours who says they hate kids. I think this will help them more.
