Every child is born curious.

They wonder why leaves change color.

They ask how stars shine in the night sky.

They look through microscopes, build inventions, and imagine the impossible.

What If We Were All Curious!™ celebrates that incredible sense of wonder and reminds children that asking questions is where every great discovery begins.Replace this text with your content

help me bring this book to life.

I’m C.M. Harris, and I wrote What If We Were All Curious! 
I pour everything into these books myself — 
the words, the heart, and the years it takes to get them right. 
But before I can send this one to my printer, 
I need to reach one goal: $10,000 in pre-orders.

That number is what it takes to print the first hardcover run. 
I can’t move forward without it — so every single pre-order 
genuinely matters, and it brings me closer to the moment I can hit “print.”

Here’s my promise to you: If we don’t reach the goal, you’ll get a full refund. 
You’re never charged for a book I can’t deliver. And the moment we reach $10,000, your hardcover goes into production and ships to you first.

author, c.m. harris

Every great scientist, inventor, and explorer started the same way a child does: by asking “What if?”


I wrote What If We Were All Curious! for the kids who never run out of questions — the ones who wonder about the stars overhead, the bugs underfoot, and the way everything works and why. Through rhythm, rhyme, and bright, joyful art, this book tells children that their curiosity isn’t something to quiet. It’s the beginning of everything.


It’s a celebration of the question behind every discovery. And it gives the children in your life permission to ask, explore, and imagine without limits. That’s the kind of book I believe in making — and the kind I need your help to provide a quality book children will cherish.
