Where does energy come from — and how do we use it?

Discovering Energy is a vivid and engaging energy book for kids that explains one of the most essential forces shaping our planet and our lives.
 
From the muscles in our bodies to the power of the sun, wind, water, and magnets — this book introduces readers to the many forms of energy that surround us. It explores how humans have learned to harness energy for movement, warmth, electricity, and even space travel. Each concept is broken down using bite-sized explanations, clear diagrams, and vibrant illustrations that turn complex ideas into visual storytelling.
 
Written by physics experts Veronica Sanz and Johannes Hirn and illustrated by Eduard Altarriba, this beautifully crafted title invites young readers to grasp the science behind motion, light, heat, and renewable power — and to consider how we can create a more sustainable future.
