Books in this family share a commitment to resolving scientific paradoxes through relatable logic and visual thinking.
A parent would reach for this book when their child begins to question the logic of the physical world, specifically after learning the mind-blowing fact that the Earth is spinning at incredible speeds. It is the perfect resource for that transitional moment when a child moves from simple observation to wanting to understand the invisible forces of physics. This book tackles the counterintuitive nature of gravity and inertia, explaining why our senses tell us we are still while science says we are moving. It transforms a potentially confusing academic concept into a moment of shared wonder and intellectual confidence. Ideal for ages 7 to 10, it serves as a bridge between curiosity and scientific literacy, helping parents navigate the big 'why' questions about our place in the universe without needing a physics degree themselves.
