Prince “Why?” - Pictubook Pitch

Written and Illustrated by Shri Gunasekara

This story explores the struggles of admitting when you don’t know something, especially when you are being depended on. This story centres around a prince who loved asking the question ‘why?’, constantly questioning why things are the way they are. His father, not very good at answering his questions, ignores him. This also makes Prince Why more adamant about keeping asking and asking. This grows in tension till the end of the book, where his father explodes, "I DON'T KNOW". He didn't know the answers to all his son's questions and couldn't bear the embarrassment of not knowing. But this honesty allowed his dad to finally put aside his pride so he and his son could go find the answers together.
