What is Why is the Sky Blue? about?

Rabbit is full of questions. Why is the sky blue? Why do birds fly? Why does the sun shine? His old friend Donkey seems to know all the answers and promises to explain everything, but he keeps getting distracted. As the two friends wander through the day, Rabbit’s curiosity leads them from one puzzle to the next. By the end, their roles have changed, proving that asking questions can be just as valuable as knowing the answers.
