Invisible Things, by Andy J. Pizza & Sophie Miller, (July 2023. Chronicle Books), $17.99, ISBN: 9781797215204
Ages 5-8
Pick up your “invisible ‘invisible thing’-spotting glasses” from the opening endpapers and take a trip into the world of things you can’t see! Invisible Things touches on our senses, emotions, feelings, and provides a tickle to the funny bone, too: “A lollipop looks kinda boring, but it TASTES like rainbow MAGIC. And broccoli looks so cute, but it doesn’t taste cute. It tastes like FEET!” Mixed media digital collage work is playful, creating colorful visuals for echoes, various smells, vibes, Heebie-Jeebies, and so much more. Pizza and Miller help put words to feelings that children may struggle to name, like The Blues. Invisible Things is a great addition to social-emotional collections and lends itself to a great storytime and a discussion of feelings.
