Gianni Rodari (1920-1980) was an Italian writer known mainly for his children’s books. His dad died when he was a young boy and his mom was left to raise him on her own. That may explain why Rodari studied in a seminary while an adolescent. At 17 he became an elementary school teacher. This experience with children helped form him as a pedagogical writer.
He wrote“The Book of Whys” for moms with curious kids. It offers a helping hand in answering typical kid questions. You know, questions like “Why doesn’t the moon fall from the sky?” and “Why do roosters crow?” and “Why do rainbows come out after the rain?”
(The Book Of Whys is available in English from Amazon)
