I See You! A Journey into the World of Light

Text & illustrations by Masha Shebeko

It’s the second book in the non-fiction series about senses through which we experience the world. It invites young readers to discover one of the most extraordinary of our senses: sight. From the incredible eyes of animals to the way our own brains turn light into images, this lively nonfiction book reveals the science behind how we see.


How do different animals see the world? How does light become an image in our brains? Why can we see millions of colours, and why do optical illusions trick us? How does vision change as we grow older? And what does the world look like to people who are blind or have limited vision? Through clear explanations and fascinating examples from the animal kingdom and everyday life, the book takes young readers on a journey from the eye to the brain and beyond.

A playful cat appears on every spread, guiding readers through the book. The result is an inviting blend of science, discovery and visual storytelling, designed to encourage children to look at the world — and their own senses — in a new way.
