Overview

"For Stevie, speaking up in class can be scary. So when Ms. Gail asks, ""Are there any questions?,"" Stevie looks around the classroom, hoping someone will raise their hand. But no one does. No one has a single question. Except Stevie. ""I can't ask, can I? If I do, I know just what will happen,"" Stevie thinks, beginning a journey of worried imagination. Everyone will certainly laugh, they'll think the question is silly, they'll think Stevie is silly. But Stevie has to know. Stevie has to ask. Written with humor, empathy, and tenderness, Andrew Arnold's I Have a Question is wonderfully funny and mightily empowering-inspiring anyone who has ever felt too shy, too silly or too afraid to raise their hand."
