Things I Can't See

A parent would reach for this book when their child begins showing anxiety about the unknown, asking existential questions about the world, or struggling to name the big feelings they experience inside. It serves as a gentle bridge between the physical and the abstract by explaining that just because something is invisible does not mean it is not real or impactful. The book introduces children to concepts like wind, gravity, germs, and emotions through relatable examples. By demystifying these unseen forces, it helps reduce the fear of the unknown while fostering a sense of wonder about how the world works. It is a perfect choice for preschool and early elementary children who are moving from a literal understanding of the world to more complex, abstract thinking. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's internal experiences, such as love and sadness, alongside scientific facts.
