About the press
Million Whys Press publishes illustrated curiosity books for children and families. Each title is a sequence of stops. A child asks. A scene opens. One short paragraph answers. Then the next question. The books are written so a parent can read a single stop on the subway and a kid can keep going.
“The job is not to sound smart. The job is to take a question a seven-year-old will not drop and give it a scene they can see.” Crafty Clover
Why I wrote this
Kids ask “why?” all day long. Why is the sky blue? Why do cats purr? How do otters stay warm in icy water? Every one of those questions is a chance to learn something amazing, and I wanted kids to have a fun, trustworthy place to find the answers.
