Have You Ever Wondered?

From the award-winning creators of The Trouble with Children (According to Dog), Have You Ever Wondered? is a heartfelt picture book perfect for cozy read-alouds and quiet moments of reflection—a reassuring reminder that every small step, new feeling, and act of kindness helps shape who we’re becoming.

With breathtaking illustrations and gentle, rhythmic verse, each page poses a simple but powerful question, inviting children to explore their own courage, curiosity, and compassion. It’s a celebration of growth, bravery, big ideas, and the beautiful journey of discovering your own answers.

"Have you ever wondered what would happen if you tried?
If fear was just a whisper you could gently set aside?
If every stumble meant that you could learn a better way—
And trying helped you grow a little stronger every day?

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you changed?
If growing made you different, if your dreams got rearranged?
Would changing mean you’d lost your way—or simply found your start?
Could something new be gently growing deep within your heart?

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you grew?
If growing wasn’t just about the size inside your shoe?
Like learning that a softer heart can still be brave and tough—
Or choosing just to listen when you know you’ve said enough?"

(Picture books are typically best suited for children up to 8 years old. This book, however, is a special one... it's the perfect gift book for a newborn and still appropriate to gift to a senior graduating high school or college.)
