Synopsis

A perfect gift for graduation--or any occasion--by a Caldecott Honor Book Artist!

Quietly life changing...
--The New York Times

Young Nikolai is searching for the answers to his three questions:
When is the best time to do things?
Who is the most important one?
What is the right thing to do?
But it is his own response to a stranger's cry for help that leads him directly to the answers he is looking for.
This profound and inspiring book is about compassion and being engaged in each moment.
With his stunning watercolors -- and text that resounds with universal truths, Jon J Muth has transformed a story by Leo Tolstoy into a timeless fable for readers of every age!

Media Reviews
Praise for The Three Questions
Quietly life changing... --The New York Times
* A soaring achievement. -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review
* Moral without being moralistic, the tale sends a simple and direct message unfreighted by pomp or pedantry. Muth's art is as carefully distilled as his prose. A series of misty, evocative watercolors in muted tones suggests the figures and their changing relationships to the landscape. -- Publishers Weekly, starred review
