I See That

Sight is the subject here: how eyes work, what lenses reveal, why colours differ and how illusions fool perception. Romana Romanyshyn and Andriy Lesiv treat the material as a design problem as much as a scientific one, using graphic illustration to explain ideas that would otherwise need long paragraphs. It won the 2018 Bologna Ragazzi Award in the children's non-fiction category. It rewards slow reading and repeated looking, and it suits a child who likes asking why alongside an adult happy to be asked. Subjects covered: • How the eye works and what limits it • Microscopes, telescopes and what they make visible • Colour perception and optical illusion • Graphic illustration used as the main explanatory tool For curious children, teachers and anyone drawn to well-designed non-fiction, found at Boipoka.
