What you hold in your hands is more than just a book - it is a magical Cabinet with 90 glowing drawers.
Over many months, my curious friend Curio and I opened one drawer after another, discovering the surprising, funny, and wonderful stories hiding inside the most ordinary things: coins, raincoats, wheels, light bulbs, apples, dogs, sand, bubbles, and even the shapes all around us.
Each story began with a simple "Why?" or "How?" - the same questions children ask every day. And each one revealed that the everyday objects we take for granted are actually connected to grand adventures in history, science, nature, and human ingenuity.
This collection is written for families to enjoy together - whether read aloud at bedtime, shared in the car, or explored quietly by a young reader. My hope is that these tales will spark curiosity, laughter, and many "I never knew that " moments in your home, just as they did in mine.
So open the Cabinet, step inside with Curio, and let the adventures begin.
With wonder and giggles
