Just Because It Can, Doesn't Mean I Should: A Kids' Guide to Using AI Wisely (Truth Sleuths)

By Kimberlee Everson

AI can answer questions in seconds.
It can write stories, explain ideas, and sound very smart.

But should it do your thinking for you?

In Just Because It Can Doesn't Mean I Should, one curious kid discovers that using AI isn't about getting the fastest answer-it's about learning how to think, ask better questions, and stay honest. Through humor, simple examples, and relatable moments, young readers learn when AI is helpful, when it guesses, and why understanding matters more than perfect-sounding words.

Written for ages 8-12, this thoughtful picture book introduces generative AI in a calm, kid-safe way. It doesn't scare. It doesn't preach. It empowers.

Perfect for classrooms, families, and anyone learning to navigate new technology with curiosity and care.
