Entry 1 - I Wonder

I wonder why the sea, the grass and the bushes are green. I wonder why the sky and the water are blue. I wonder why people are not white like paper and why birds and flowers are millions of colors. Why do clouds move and wind groves. I wonder, I wonder.

Entry 2 - Snowflakes

I wonder why two snowflakes are not the same. It is a mystery to me. I want to know but I can't see them up really close. Will anybody break the mystery for me?

Entry 3 - Tell me mother nature

I wonder why the sky is blue and why the sea is green. It never makes sense o me. Oh, tell me mother nature, so it will make sense to me.

Entry 4 - Your Shadow

I wonder why your shadow always follows you. And I wonder why it gets bigger when the sun sets and why it gets smaller at noon. And it's like a mirror - it does whatever you do at the exact same time. And I wonder why it only shows the outline of your body and not your eyes and the design on your shirt. And your shadow is not a million colors - it's sort of blackish. I wonder why shadows are like that.

Entry 5 - Your Skin

Your skin comes in many different colors. I wonder why that is true. Your skin comes in different shades of the same color, too. I think that if all of your skin colors were the same, life would be boring, so I'm glad that everybody's skin color is a different shade. I still wonder why skin is all different.

I Wonder Why

I wonder why kids lose teeth and birds do not. I wonder why flowers are different colors. I wonder why adult toothbrushes don't have fun stuff on them. Why don't adults get prizes and bracelets and toys and stickers when they go to the dentist? I wonder why your tongue has taste buds all over it. I wonder why rocks are different colors and textures.

I Wonder Why People Start Wars

I wonder why people start wars. War can kill lots of people. Sure, countries like to be rich and like to protect themselves, but fighting in war isn't going to solve that. There have been many wars in the history of the world and lots of people have died. There are other ways to work things out than to have wars. There is lots of bombing and shooting in wars. War is a really scary place. Working things out is good, but not if you have a war because you have killed lots and lots of people. Maybe sometimes you have even taken over a whole country, but that is not good at all. If you want something to be settled, try compromising in a nice way, not having a horrible scary war.
