A story about the hidden world of light... Renowned physicist Alan Lightman, author of Ada and the Galaxies , turns his focus to light waves in a second story for children.

There's only one gift Isabel wants for her birthday: a way to see invisible things. She can hardly think of anything else until the day of her party arrives! Unwrapping a big box, Isabel finds a surprise inside - a glass prism - and a dazzling world of previously invisible colour emerges, lighting up the room around her. What else could be out there, waiting for her eyes to discover?

In simple, engaging language, complemented by luminous artwork from bestselling illustrator Ramona Kaulitzki, author and physicist Alan Lightman unveils the hidden world of light waves - the ones you can see and the ones you can't...
