author, c.m. harris

Every great scientist, inventor, and explorer started the same way a child does: by asking “What if?”

I wrote What If We Were All Curious! for the kids who never run out of questions — the ones who wonder about the stars overhead, the bugs underfoot, and the way everything works and why. Through rhythm, rhyme, and bright, joyful art, this book tells children that their curiosity isn’t something to quiet. It’s the beginning of everything.

It’s a celebration of the question behind every discovery. And it gives the children in your life permission to ask, explore, and imagine without limits. That’s the kind of book I believe in making — and the kind I need your help to provide a quality book children will cherish.

Take A Peek

STEM + EDUCATION

Curiosity is the root of STEM. Before a child can love science, math, or engineering, they have to fall in love with asking questions. I designed this book to spark exactly that.

I wrote it for:
    •    Parents raising inquisitive kids who never run out of “why?”
    •    Teachers building a classroom culture of wonder and inquiry-based learning
    •    Librarians and STEM programs introducing the mindset behind every discovery
    •    Read-alouds that lead naturally into hands-on questions and exploration

Children will:

* Build observation skills
* Strengthen problem-solving
* Practice asking thoughtful questions
* Develop a growth mindset
* Discover the joy of lifelong learning

At home and in the classroom, it supports:
    •    Inquiry-based and question-driven learning
    •    Social-emotional learning (confidence, openness, growth mindset)
    •    Early STEM engagement through story rather than worksheets
    •    Vocabulary, rhythm, and read-aloud fluency
A companion discussion guide for educators will be available — coming soon
