We Don't Touch Things (Paperback)

Paperback. Tell your 9-year-old they've never actually touched anything in their life. Watch their face. Then hand them this book.We Don't Touch Things takes one of the strangest ideas in all of science - that solid objects never truly make contact - and makes it completely visible for curious kids ages 9-12. No equations. No intimidating terminology. Just the real physics, explained through illustrations that make the invisible click into place.Each spread answers a question kids actually ask: Why do objects feel solid if they're mostly empty space?What's really happening between your hand and this page right now?How do atoms know to push back - and why don't they just let things pass through?What does quantum mechanics have to do with a wall, a magnet, or a handshake?Every concept is introduced visually first - the explanation follows the image, never the other way around. No prior science knowledge needed.Perfect for kids ages 9-12 who ask too many questions. Also ideal for parents, grandparents, teachers, and homeschoolers who want STEM enrichment that doesn't feel like homework.Add it to your cart - and let your kid spend the evening questioning everything they thought they knew about the physical world.Part of The Visual Science Series by Ely & Oly Books.
