Why Am I Here?

 

Why Am I Here?

Why are we here? It’s a very big question for a very little person.

Mummy has an answer. So does the dog, the bee, and the spider in the morning dew. Even the robot vacuum has something to say!

Follow one curious little boy through his big, beautiful world as he asks the animals, the insects, and his family the most important question of all.

Why Am I Here? is a charming, rhythmic story for any child who has ever wondered where they fit in. Through a series of sweet and funny encounters, children will discover that while everyone has a different path to follow, we all share one wonderful reason for being exactly who we are: to love, to grow, and to make the world a better place.

A soul-warming bedtime read for inquisitive minds and big hearts.

Behind the Story

I’ve always been fascinated by the way children look at the world with such unfiltered wonder. After hearing so many 'big questions' from the little people in my life, I wanted to write a story that honours their curiosity and reminds them that, while the world is vast, their place in it is defined by love.
