The shape of it
The shape of this universe.
Invisible Things is the New York Times-bestselling picture-book world of Andy J. Pizza and Sophie Miller, which turns the unseen and the unknown into an irresistible playground for young minds. The original, Invisible Things, gives shape and personality to the intangible forces of everyday life; the companion, Mysterious Things, opens the same warm, witty lens onto the world's puzzles, lost and forgotten things, dreams, dark matter, and the things we don't even know we don't know. Both are gently philosophical and quietly STEM-minded, championing curiosity, imagination and a growth mindset through a cast of charming personified curiosities and Sophie Miller's bright, characterful art. Funny, reassuring and beautiful to pore over, they reward rereading and delight grown-ups as much as children.
Warm, witty, quietly philosophical picture books that make curiosity and not-knowing feel exciting rather than daunting; STEM-friendly and lovely to share aloud.
