Ever worked really hard on something… and then wondered, “What was the point?”

You’re not alone—and neither was King Solomon.

In What Is Ecclesiastes?, Michael Whitworth takes readers ages 10–14 on a thoughtful, engaging journey through one of the Bible’s most puzzling books. Inspired by the popular Who Was? series, this book breaks big ideas into clear, relatable lessons kids can actually understand.

Solomon had it all—wisdom, wealth, fun, success. He tried everything to find happiness. But in Ecclesiastes, he reaches a surprising conclusion: chasing stuff doesn’t last, and even the best achievements can feel empty.

So what does matter?

With warmth, clarity, and age-appropriate insight, What Is Ecclesiastes? helps young readers discover that real joy is found in appreciating everyday gifts, living wisely, and remembering God in the middle of ordinary life. Along the way, kids will learn that it’s okay to ask hard questions—and that the Bible isn’t afraid of honest doubts.

Perfect for independent readers, family discussions, or Bible classes, this book shows kids that Ecclesiastes isn’t gloomy or confusing—it’s honest, hopeful, and surprisingly practical.

Big questions. Real life. Wise faith.

This is Ecclesiastes—for kids who are starting to wonder what really matters.
