This day offers up an opportunity to do stuff...just because. So feel free to celebrate this day any way you choose. Just because! It invites spontaneous acts, random fun and unexpected kindness to break routine and spark joy.
When we use this common phrase, it means that we do not need to have a reason for what we are doing or have asked someone to do. It could be that something is true for no specific reason!
Today when a child asks, ' why?' you can say 'Just because!'
There are three children's books with the title Just Because:
Just Because by Mac Barnett and Isabelle Arsenault
It might be time for bed, but one child is too full of questions about the world to go to sleep just yet. Little ones and their parents will be charmed and delighted as a patient father offers up increasingly creative responses to his child’s night-time wonderings. Any child who has ever asked “Why?” – and any parent who has attempted an explanation – will recognise themselves in this storybook for dreamers who are looking for answers beyond “just because”.
Just Because by Rebecca Elliott
'My big sister Clemmie is my best friend. She can't walk, talk, move around much, cook macaroni, pilot a plane, juggle or do algebra. I don't know why she doesn't do these things. Just because.' This charming picture book covers the issue of disability in a unique and beautiful celebration of sibling friendship to which all children can relate.
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. Why? Just because.
