Books with title I Wonder Why the Sky Is Blue

Inquisitive Mia asks her mommy why everything is created a certain way. Her mother answers to the best of her ability while making sure that Mia is aware of God’s beauty that surrounds her. At the end of her eventful day, during her nightly prayer, Mia thanks God for all the things she had seen. Her prayer ends with a thankful surprise that her mother would always remember.

This anthology is a wonderful amalgam of the humourous, inventive, surprising and profound. When a child begins asking 'Why?', he or she has firmly announced their intention to engage with the world and life. John Agard has arranged his selection of poetry in a way that creates its own narrative drive, the poems question, answer and tease each other. You will be laughing at a clown one minute and contemplating a hangman the next; quaking at Blake's Tyger while worrying for Grace Nichols's weeping Caterpillar. 'How did the sun get up in the sky?' 'Where do giants go to cry?': Why is the Sky? will give you answers, but perhaps not ones you'd expect.
