WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, February 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Science Naturally is proud to announce the educational picture book How Do You See the World? is available in English and Spanish paperback editions!

Originally released in hardback and praised by eye experts and parents alike, How Do You See the World? received a 2025 Outstanding Science Trade Book Award, representing each year’s best K-12 science books. According to optometrist Dr. Erica Metzler, author Noureddine Melikechi “unravels the complexities of vision and visual impairment through his descriptive storytelling and illustrations, making abstract concepts come to life.”

With kid-friendly explanations of vision, light, color, and eye anatomy, How Do You See the World? is the first children’s book to explore a variety of eye conditions and the helpful tools people use to better see the world around them. Perfect for curious minds of all kinds or anyone eager to understand their eyes better, this book is great for home and classroom use.

Around 1 in 4 people across the globe are affected by a visual impairment. How Do You See the World? introduces kids ages 7-10 to the types of vision differences people may have and how to understand and empathize with the different ways we all experience the world around us. Fun, diverse characters will help normalize all types of visual impairments and celebrate the tools and technology that help us see more clearly.

Written by an optical physicist, this informative picture book explores the various eye conditions kids may have or may learn about through their friends and relatives. What is it like to see the world through someone else's eyes? Find out through clear explanations of eye conditions such as amblyopia, astigmatism, color blindness, and glaucoma. Vibrant illustrations demonstrate how each of these conditions affects what you see and offer examples of what tools you can use, like glasses or a guide dog, to navigate the world with a vision impairment.

The Spanish-language edition, ¿Cómo ves el mundo?, is available now alongside our English paperback edition. The Spanish translation was adapted and reviewed by native speakers to ensure the language used was accurate, accessible, and informative for young readers.
