We Are Why It Might

A true story for children of every age

Originally written: May 3, 2026 · Published here: May 11, 2026

Cover of 'We Are Why It Might.' A painted square illustration: a small child in a cape, silhouetted on a grassy hilltop in the lower-left, raises both arms toward a large luminous Earth that dominates the night sky; continents (the Americas, Africa) are visible inside a warm golden corona; stars and a single shooting star scatter across the deep-blue dark. Title typography overlaid in the lower third reads 'WE ARE WHY IT MIGHT—a true story for children of every age—written by JED ANDERSON.'

About this edition

The verse is mine. The illustrations were generated with AI image tools. Both are offered together as a single artifact — a children’s adaptation of the essay ‘A Planet Without Minds Is a Planet Already Condemned.’
