Marie-Louise Gay explains the creative process with typical fun and whimsy. Many children want to know where stories come from and how a book is made. Marie-Louise Gays new picture book provides them with some delightfully inspiring answers in a fictional encounter between an author and some very curious children  who collaborate on writing and illustrating a story. Marie-Louise has scribbled  sketched  scrawled  doodled  penciled  collaged and painted the words and pictures of a story-within-a-story that show how brilliant ideas creep up on you when you least expect it and how words sometimes float out of nowhere asking to be written. Any Questions? presents a world inhabited by lost polar bears  soaring pterodactyls  talking trees and spotted snails  with cameo appearances by some of Marie-Louises favorite characters  a world where kids can become part of the story and let their imaginations run wild and just maybe they will be inspired to create stories of their own. At the end of the book  Marie-Louise provides answers to many of the questions children have asked her over the years  such as Are you Stella? How did you learn to draw? Can your cat fly? How many books do you make in one day?
