On the way home, a child begins to wonder.
What if cracks in the pavement are unfinished smiles?
What if puddles are holding pieces of the sky?
What if grown-ups sometimes feel small inside, even when they look big?
Through gentle observations and quiet what if questions, this beautifully illustrated picture book invites children - and the adults reading with them - to pause, reflect, and choose empathy.
Perfect for readers aged 6-9, What If opens meaningful conversations about:
- Big feelings in small moments
- Understanding behaviour without judgement
- Emotional awareness
- Kindness in everyday life
A thoughtful bedtime read-aloud for families, classrooms, and anyone still learning how to grow.
