"This book goes beyond parent and child reading together. Its interactive component, through light-hearted questions, fosters fun two-way conversation and discussion. The questions spark curiosity, and provide a starting point for families to build memories and grow closer. When parents spend time listening to and encouraging their children to share their thoughts and ideas, they strengthen the bond between parent and child, thus building the foundation for a lifetime of effective communication."Jonathan Patterson, PhDSuperintendentFayette County Public Schools, Ga.

"As a grandfather and great-grandfather, I have witnessed the importance of asking children questions during their formative adolescent years. Jacqueline Leigh's The Georgia Guide to Quirky Questions will engage both children and parents in this well-crafted storybook of questions. Questions hold the keys that unlock a child's love for learning. This learning process dates back to the days of Socrates whose fame for questions earned him a place in the hallowed halls of learning fame. Touching on Georgia's notable places, sights, sounds and tastes, The Georgia Guide to Quirky Questions will help children learn how unique and special they are." T. M. Brown, author and President of Hometown Novel Writers Association, Newnan, GA.
