Just Because
Just Because | Mac Barnett
13 posts | 6 read | 5 to read
Curious minds are rewarded with curious answers in a fantastical bedtime book by Mac Barnett and Isabelle Arsenault. Why is the ocean blue? What is the rain? What happened to the dinosaurs? It might be time for bed, but one child is too full of questions about the world to go to sleep just yet. Little ones and their parents will be charmed and delighted as a patient father offers up increasingly creative responses to his child's nighttime wonderings. Any child who has ever asked "Why?" -- and any parent who has attempted an explanation -- will recognize themselves in this sweet storybook for dreamers who are looking for answers beyond "Just because."

Just Because | Mac Barnett

I moved into my new house in May 2020. I‘m still unpacking and sorting. I wasn‘t particularly active on Litsy since then for a variety of reasons. But this summer with my Litsy friends has been great! I‘m not going anywhere again. Weird thing: I just found four addressed and stamped envelopes from when I was only semi-active. There‘s nothing written on any of the cards in the envelopes. I‘m going to chalk this up to grief and moving. #JustBecause

DivineDiana Moving forward in your own time. Take care. ❤️ 7mo

I had some emergency plumbing done today so while the contractors cut holes in the walls trying to work out where the leak was coming from, I wrote #Justbecause and #Litsylove letters. The leak was in the roof so hopefully strata will pay. Considering the builder was responsible for drilling the hole into my cold water pipe, I definitely think they owe me. I have had to use Long Service Leave but let‘s face it, we ain‘t going nowhere for a while.

there was nothing else to do...

I grew up a navy brat and we moved a lot. Books were easily portable and kept me company until I made friends. they kept me busy when adults were talking adult stuff and I was the only kid present.

Books kept me sane when the world felt insane.

I read because it's life.
