Because I Said So: The Ups, Downs, and Uh-Ohs of Growing Up
Sometimes You Have to Learn for Yourself
Big curiosity can lead to some pretty big lessons.
Ages 5–8 · Humor · Independence · Life Lessons
Minta is curious, confident, and determined to do things her own way. Even when the grown-ups in her life offer a little advice, she’d much rather figure things out for herself. But as one decision leads to another—and a few humorous mishaps along the way—Minta begins to discover that doing things your own way doesn’t always mean doing them the easy way.
Funny, relatable, and full of heart, Because I Said So celebrates curiosity and independence while reminding young readers that mistakes are part of learning—and sometimes the people who care about us really do know a thing or two.
