Did You Look Both Ways?
In a world of “I’m right and you’re wrong, this book aims to help kids (and parents) understand that there are always two ways to look at a given situation”.
What the book is about
A story about perspective, built from drawings that turned into a finished book.
The book began as drawings, with kids helping color a lot of the pages.
It follows a character who sees the world as dull and frustrating until another point of view changes what stands out.
The focus is perspective, shown through contrast rather than explained.
Why parents like it
The goal is simple: a story kids enjoy, plus an easier conversation afterward.
Empathy without the preachy vibe
It doesn’t tell kids what to think. It shows what it looks like when a point of view changes.
Built in conversation starter
It creates natural “what do you think happened here?” moments without turning it into a lesson.
Bedtime friendly pacing
Short enough for bedtime, with a clear shift by the end.
Hand made feel
Drawn and colored by a real family, with real kid energy in the pages.
About the author
Just a dad trying to help his kids be the best possible versions of themselves
Tanner Beeston wrote and illustrated this book to give his kids a simple way to practice seeing another side of the same situation. The drawings started at home and the kids helped finish many of the pages.
