100000 Whys for Kids: Bible Questions and Amazing Answers about God That Boost Curiosity and Knowledge (Big Book of Whys)

Your child has questions about God. Real ones. The kind asked at bedtime, in the back seat of the car, after something hard happened. The kind that deserves a real answer.100,000 Whys for Kids is a book built entirely around those questions. Not the tidy ones. The ones children actually ask: Why does God allow bad things to happen? Why can't we see God? Why do good people suffer? Why does prayer sometimes feel like talking to the ceiling?Written by Mary Junbee, a mother, a teacher, and a person who once kept her own doubts in a notebook because she did not know what else to do with them, this book gives children ages 6 to 12 something rare: honest, warm, beautifully told answers that do not talk down, do not preach, and do not pretend the hard questions are not hard.Across 72 entries organized into 8 sections, each question becomes a journey. A story first, drawn from the Bible or from real everyday life. Then a clear, simple answer. Then a "what this means for you" moment that lands in the specific world a child actually lives in, a school hallway, a hard Monday morning, a bedtime when the questions feel too big. Then a single reflection prompt that opens a conversation instead of closing one.This is the book for the child who wants to know why, not just what. For the child who doubts and wonders and asks again. For the child who needs to know that their questions are not too big for God, not too complicated for faith, and not too honest for this book.From creation to prayer, from the life of Jesus to the hardest questions about death and suffering, Mary Junebee writes the way she talks to her own children: like the truth is worth saying out loud, like the child in front of her is worth every honest word.Includes interactive journal pages for children to write their own questions, and a Parent and Child Conversation Guide with section-by-section prompts designed to start real conversations at the dinner table, in the car, or at bedtime.Because the best questions are the ones your child has not stopped asking yet.
