About This Book

Where Did the Rules Go playfully imagines a world where, one day, all the rules simply vanish. Chaos and silliness ensue, leading the characters to discover for themselves why structure, fairness, and cooperation are so important. This humorous story is perfect for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating the social contracts of school and home. It serves as an excellent, gentle conversation starter about the purpose of boundaries, moving beyond a simple 'because I said so.'
