THE MOST INSTAGRAMMABLE CHILDREN’S BOOK EVER

My click-bait title worked! You are here, reading this post which must mean you love children's books, pretty things and the 'gram. Same!

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not always advocating for people to judge a book by its cover...but when I saw this cute cover (and the fact that it was by one of my favorite children's book authors) I knew this was going to be a good one. Then I took off the book jacket and somehow this book got even prettier. Like, so pretty that I immediately put it on the book shelf because it needed to be displayed.

Ok, ok enough already, I'll tell you what it is.

JUST BECAUSE

Just Because written by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Isabel Arsenault is a beautiful children's book that encourages creativity and imagination. A little girl is getting ready for bed but she has some questions first. I think many parents can relate to the story in Just Because. You are trying your best to get your kid to go to sleep, but suddenly they have a burning desire to know "Why is the sky blue?" In Just Because a little girl is getting ready for bed but her mind is racing with questions!

I don't know about you, but when you have work to do and dishes waiting in the sink (and a show on Netflix that you've been waiting all day to watch) it can be easy to give the quick answer and say "just because" now go to bed! Instead Mac Barnett indulges the little girl's curiosity with silly fantastical explanations.

My three-year-old looked at me skeptically after each answer and would giggle and say "nooo, that's silly!"  Of course, then he wanted to know the real answers so we decided that when he woke up we could look up the real answers together, although the made-up answers were more entertaining!
