01About this book
Every why gets its own illustrated spread.
A full-color question-and-answer book for ages six to ten. Snow, rainbows, wind, stars, waterfalls and mirages each get an illustrated spread, with a scene, short answer steps and a fact worth repeating.
Volume one of Smart Kids WHY?, written by Daniel Bulmez. It takes the questions children ask about the world and answers each one on its own full-color spread: a real-world scene, callouts that walk through the cause and effect a step at a time, and a fun fact at the end. Snow, rainbows, wind, stars, waterfalls, mirages.
The idea is that the answer is visible rather than buried. A mirage becomes hot air, cool air and bending light. A waterfall becomes gravity, erosion, hard rock and soft rock. A child follows the sequence across the page instead of holding a paragraph in their head, which is why it works for browsing as much as for reading straight through.
Written for ages six to ten, and simple enough to read aloud to a younger child. It covers more than twelve everyday topics, from weather and nature through to space, landforms and light, with no screen involved.
Who it is for
For a curious six- to ten-year-old, and for the adult who will end up reading it aloud to a younger sibling.
How it reads
Each spread holds one question, a scene, step-by-step callouts and a fun fact, so a child can browse it in any order.
What is included
Full-color question-and-answer spreads covering more than twelve everyday topics, among them weather, nature, space, landforms and light.

Twins, 6 and 6, both fighting over it — that's the real review. Bright, clear, and it answers the questions I never know how to explain. Highly recommend.

Keith N. –
This has become a household favorite. Every spread starts with a question and the explanation is clear without being dumbed down. Can’t recommend it enough.

Could not be happier with this. It explains the wind in a way that finally made sense to she. A keeper.

Brooke C. –
My kids ask for this every night now. The cause-and-effect callouts are perfect for this age.
Diego W. –
Happy with this. The stars and ice pages are favorites here. My only nitpick is I wish it covered even more questions.
Wei J. –
One of the best kids’ books we’ve bought in a while. It explains the the moon in a way that finally made sense to she.
Pablo R. –
Really good book overall. The pictures are great and the explanations are clear. Only wish it were a bit longer — we wanted more topics.
Eric W. –
Really good book overall. The pictures are great and the explanations are clear. Could use a volume 2 already!

My 7-year-old asks ‘why’ about literally everything and I finally have backup. She read the waterfall and rainbow pages to her little brother without me even asking. The illustrations do the heavy lifting — she actually gets it.
