Katie Daynes writes children's non-fiction built around the questions young children actually ask, from what is inside the body to why it rains or how money works. She developed Usborne's See Inside and Lift-the-flap Questions and Answers series, using flaps, diagrams and short answers to make subjects such as space, science, animals, art, feelings and the wider world manageable from roughly preschool age upwards. Books including Questions and Answers about Your Body and Questions and Answers about Space organise information around what, why, where and how rather than a continuous chapter sequence. The tone is direct and curious, and the physical interaction of lifting flaps is part of the reading experience rather than decoration. Lift-the-flap non-fiction, early science and first reference are the strongest discovery terms, with the Questions and Answers books particularly suited to children who prefer finding one clear answer at a time and physically opening the page to reveal it.
