Reach for this book when your child starts asking 'why' about every physical movement: why their toy fell, why they can't jump to the moon, or why we don't float away into the clouds. It is a foundational science resource designed to turn abstract concepts into concrete understanding for early elementary learners. The book uses relatable, real-world examples to explain gravity as a constant, invisible force that affects everything from our bodies to the ocean tides. Parents will appreciate the clear photography and simple vocabulary that builds scientific literacy without being overwhelming. It captures a sense of wonder about the natural laws of the universe while grounding them in everyday experiences like playing at the park or dropping a ball. It is an ideal choice for curious minds who are ready to move beyond 'what' things happen and begin exploring 'how' the world works.
