  1. Customer from an external sales channel

    Adorable story for that inevitable question

    us

    Every child eventually asks, “Why can’t I?” and genuinely wants an answer. This book responds to those questions in a playful but informative way that kids can relate to. Young readers are sure to take something meaningful from the story. (This review has been adapted for display on this website.)

    Explains things in child-friendly language

    us

    I really liked how the mother shares her guidance using words a young child can easily understand. With a bit of conversation, each page can help kids gain deeper insight into what is happening. Every spread opens the door to more discussion and even new stories. (This review has been adapted for display on this website.)

    Lovely illustrations

    us

    This is a quick, simple read for my daughter and nieces. They can recognize themselves in Sara and her family in the pictures, which makes the story feel special to them. Overall, I enjoyed the book a lot and loved the illustrations. (This review has been adapted for display on this website.)

    That never-ending question!

    us

    My daughter began asking, “Why can’t I?” when she was very young, and now that she is eight, the question still comes up all the time. Taking the time to answer her and give age-appropriate explanations feels essential for her growth and for building trust between us. I really like having this bright, content-rich picture book as an example of how to respond to those questions. (This review has been adapted for display on this website.)
