When Paxton's day starts to feel a little too ordinary, he looks where few dare to explore-under the couch, under the bed, under the rug. What he discovers isn't just small items destined for the trash, but the spark of a grand adventure built from imagination and a few forgotten treasures.
The Wonder of Under is an award-winning picture book that blends STEM discovery with social-emotional (SEL) growth. As Paxton upcycles ordinary items into an extraordinary sailboat, young readers are gently introduced to basic science and engineering concepts like building, floating, and problem-solving-while also exploring emotional themes of creativity, perseverance, and the joy of curiosity.
Winner of 3rd Place in the 2025 ACFW KidLit Awards, this playful story celebrates the value of looking at life from a new angle and reminds readers that some of the best adventures begin with a simple question: "What if?"
The back of the book includes step-by-step instructions for building a DIY sailboat and fun experiments to try with upcycled creations. Perfect for preschoolers and early learners, The Wonder of Under invites children to think outside the box-and maybe even under it. A delightful resource for parents, caregivers, and educators, this book transforms everyday moments into hands-on learning opportunities and imaginative fun.

"This was such a cute story, and of course, my girls wanted to gather all the supplies around our house and build a boat at the end. I love that this book inspires creative thinking and hands-on learning and includes activities in the back to do at home." ~ Erin
"Such a delightful and adorable book! Not only does it catch the curiosity of little ones, but it inspires them to use their imagination for new adventures. Love the repetition and rhyming words. And such sweet illustrations! A winner!" ~ Nancy I Sanders
"Such a cute story! I love the repetition of certain phrases, so that little ones can join in the reading! It's fun to see what Paxton makes with the random objects he finds. So much creativity and imagination--check out the STEM activities included in this updated version of the book!" ~ A.B. Charles
