Description

Naomi has a serious case of the Whys.
Her Whys pop up everywhere – at school, at home, and all through the day – buzzing with questions about rules, routines, and the world around her.

But at school, Naomi’s questions do not always fit the moment. When her Whys keep getting her into trouble, she begins to wonder if there is space for all her curiosity.

The Whys Get in Trouble is a heartfelt and imaginative picture book about curiosity, school, self-expression, and big feelings. With humor and warmth, it celebrates the children who ask questions, think deeply, and see wonder everywhere – while gently exploring how to navigate rules, timing, and classroom life.

Perfect for readers, families, educators, and counselors, this story opens conversations about:

• asking questions
• emotional regulation
• school behavior and classroom expectations
• curiosity as a strength
• making room for wonder
