What if the things we touch… were never really touching us?
Discover how atoms, invisible forces, and quantum rules shape the solid world in a beautifully illustrated science book for curious kids ages 9–12.
We Don’t Touch Things is a visually rich science book that introduces children ages 9–12 to the fascinating ideas behind physics and quantum science—without equations, heavy terminology, or confusion.
Through clear illustrations, powerful visual metaphors, and everyday examples, this book helps young readers understand how the invisible world works:
why objects feel solid,
why matter doesn’t pass through other matter,
and what really happens when we think we are touching something.
Designed especially for curious kids ages 9–12, this book is ideal for:
Parents and grandparents looking for meaningful educational gifts
Teachers and homeschoolers seeking engaging STEM resources
Families who enjoy learning and discovering science together
Every page combines clean design with carefully crafted explanations that turn abstract ideas—atoms, energy, electricity, magnetism, and quantum effects—into concepts children can truly understand.
This is not a textbook.
It’s an invitation to think, ask questions, and see the world differently.
A science book for kids who never stopped asking “why?”

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.
