Inhaltsangabe

"I love this book with all my heart."―Naomi Shihab Nye, Young People's Poet Laureate, 2019-2021

Be curious, always ask questions, dive into the blue pool.

A man who doesn’t quite fit in arrives in a city full of busy people who don’t have much time for him. One day, he asks so many questions that they form a giant pool in the middle of the city. Eventually, the man gathers up the courage to dive into the pool looking for answers, but what will he find? The Blue Pool of Questions underscores the importance of curiosity, the necessity of asking questions, and the courage required to break free from the status quo.
