Room for more than one feeling

Built around the idea that people can hold apparently opposing feelings or ideas at once, *Just Because* presents its life lessons through short, rhyming statements and questions. The examples pair worry with excitement, hurt with forgiveness, and uncertainty with the possibility of more than one right answer. That structure gives the book a clear focus on emotional complexity and the many ways a person can respond to a situation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Families seeking a picture book about naming and accepting mixed feelings
  • Young readers exploring forgiveness, uncertainty, and different possible answers

Book overview

The debut picture book by Academy Award-winning actor and #1 New York Times bestselling author Matthew McConaughey

Just because I'm in the race,
doesn't mean I'm fully ready.
Just because I'm shaking,
doesn't mean that I'm not steady.

Have you ever felt worried and excited at the same time?

Have you ever had your feelings hurt but forgiven someone anyway?

Have you ever thought there was more than one right answer to a question?

That's because contradictions are all around us. And they make us who we are.

Filled with his trademark humor and wisdom, Academy Award-winning actor and #1 New York Times bestselling author Matthew McConaughey has crafted a soulful and irreverent collection of life lessons that empowers readers, big and small, to celebrate how we are all full of possibility.

Why? Just because.
