Book Cover & Preview Text
If God can see everything, then why didn’t he stop Sam from breaking up all my crayons in school?”
Kyla said, “boy, you are such a silly goose. God watches over the big things, and you must take care of all the little things that you can handle. For example, you should have told your teacher Mrs. Paskiewicz that Sam broke your crayons. She would have got on him and perhaps told his mother and his mother would have bought you a brand-new box of crayons. So the next time anyone does anything to you that you do not like, you must tell someone if you want them to stop, okay?”

About the Book
Maxx is full of whys: “Why is the sky blue? Why do I have to go to school? Why do I have to take a nap?” But even though his mom takes him to Sunday school every weekend, Maxx never expresses any serious interest about what he is taught in class—until one day when he unleashes his questions and his whys on his mother, who is left in a delightful quandary.
Curious Maxx shares a touching window into the inquisitive mind of Maxx as his mother, Kyla, tries to answer some of Maxx’s questions about Christianity: Who is God? Where does he live? What is he like? And many more. Both children and parents alike can learn helpful, inspiring answers to these faithful questions, offering encouragement and comfort to young children full of questions and their own whys, just like Maxx.
