Chronicle Books I Can Explain

Nose picking? Nail biting? Wiping dirty hands on clothes? Before you call them "bad manners," consider the compelling reasons that may be behind these behaviours. For instance, jumping on the bed is great practice for when the road becomes a trampoline! Not being able to sit still might be the chair's fault! And what better way to train for the International Straw Chewing Contest than by chewing on straws?

This hilarious picture book unpacks the reasons behind a variety of relatable behaviours. Clever and creative, it will inspire children and parents alike to expand their powers of reason and view their habits in a new, humorous, and—most importantly—forgiving light. After all, there's an explanation for everything.
