Maya, who "loved hard questions," asks a big one: why is the sky blue rather than, say, lime green? She polls around, and answers range from flippant to scientific. But, wait, is it always blue? Curious kids like Maya will connect with the inquisitive tone; all will be enthralled by Tuininga's accomplished art, especially his rendering of a glorious (non-blue) sunset.
