Author: Ellen Javernick

Funny, practical, and perfectly pitched for young readers, WHAT IF EVERYBODY DID THAT? is a clever picture book that helps children understand why rules - and everyday choices - matter.
Dropping just one soda can out the window doesn’t seem like a big deal… right? Talking during story-time, skipping handwashing, splashing too much at the pool - what’s the harm? But when the question flips to what if everybody did that?, the consequences suddenly become clear.
With humour and clarity, this book shows how small actions add up, helping children see how thoughtless behaviour can turn into big problems - and how making considerate choices can make the world a better place for everyone.
Written by Ellen Javernick and illustrated with lively mixed-media art by Colleen Madden, the book balances fun with a strong social message that never feels preachy. Clear, relatable examples from everyday life, that encourages responsibility, empathy, and rule-following - Perfect for helping children think about cause and effect, What If Everybody Did That? is a smart, engaging way to show how individual choices shape shared spaces.
