Book Review: What If...? Then We: Short, Very Short, Shorter Than Ever Possibilties by Rebecca Kai Dotlich

What If…? Then We: Short, Very Short, Shorter Than Ever Possibilities
by Rebecca Kai Dotlich (jP Dotlich)

This book was great when I needed a quick set of story-starters for young children. We used our imaginations to discuss what could happen if every crayon in the world melted, if the clocks stopped tick-tocking, and a few other scary scenarios. We discussed the author’s answers to the questions, and I reiterated that there are many possibilities besides the ones published. This book is hopeful, and for that reason it could be helpful to children worried about the effects of our current pandemic.
