Isabel and the Invisible World by Rick Allen

✨ If your little one loves playing detective, peeking through magnifying glasses, or asking “why” on repeat — this book is for them.

🐚 Book Summary

Isabel may seem like an ordinary girl, but with her trusty magnifying glass and a spark of curiosity, she’s always on the hunt for answers. Whether she’s solving garden mysteries or exploring the seaside, Isabel isn’t just learning about the natural world — she’s uncovering the invisible forces that make it magical.

In her first adventure, Isabel becomes captivated by the glowing waves at night and learns how tiny, unseen plankton create bioluminescence in the water. With vibrant illustrations and approachable science language, Isabel and the Invisible World opens the door to STEM concepts in a fun and memorable way.

👩‍🔬 Why I Love It

This one’s extra special — it’s written by my brother, Rick Allen! 🥹 But beyond the proud sister moment, this is genuinely a beautiful book that sparks curiosity in little readers. It makes science feel like an adventure, which is exactly how it should be.

💡 Whether your child is 3 or 7, this book balances storytelling and learning in a way that feels like play. Plus, if your kiddo is into flashlights, glow sticks, or “spy gear,” this is a perfect story to feed that interest.

👧 Best For:

• Ages 3–7

• Curious minds who ask why?

• Kids who love nature, science, or the ocean

• Early readers + preschool bedtime books

• Parents looking for educational gift ideas
