Because I Said So: The Ups, Downs, and Uh-Ohs of Growing Up
Sometimes you just have to learn for yourself.
Minta is curious, confident, and absolutely certain she can figure things out on her own.
The grown-ups in her life may have a little advice to offer, but Minta has questions.
Why?
What if?
And what could possibly go wrong?
As it turns out...a few things.
From one determined decision to the next, Minta's independent streak leads to some laugh-out-loud mishaps-and a growing realization that figuring things out for yourself can sometimes mean learning things the hard way.
But that's part of growing up.
Funny, relatable, and full of personality, Because I Said So: The Ups, Downs, and Uh-Ohs of Growing Up celebrates curiosity, independence, decision-making, and the lessons that come from our mistakes-while gently reminding young readers that sometimes the people who care about us really do know a thing or two.
