What is quantum physics — and why is it so weird?

My First Book of Quantum Physics is a brilliant, age-appropriate introduction to one of science’s most mind-bending fields. This award-winning quantum physics book for kids simplifies complex theories and turns them into exciting visual explanations that children can understand and enjoy.
 
From atoms and quarks to Schrödinger’s cat and the Uncertainty Principle, this book makes space for big questions and strange realities. How can something be in two places at once? What is antimatter? Why is light both a particle and a wave?
 
Written by physicist Sheddad Kaid-Salah Ferrón and illustrated by Eduard Altarriba, this beautifully designed book takes readers into the quantum realm — where imagination meets science.
 
Topics Covered:
Quanta
Atoms & molecules
Wave-particle duality
Antimatter & quarks
Schrödinger’s cat
The Uncertainty Principle
Probability waves & entanglement
Spectra, photons & radioactivity
 
💚 Why We Love It at Oak Tree Books
 
This series is one of our absolute favorites, and My First Book of Quantum Physics is a standout title. It distills some of the most mind-boggling scientific concepts into formats children can grasp — without oversimplifying.
 
We especially love how the illustrations carry the weight of the explanation, making this book not only educational but visually exciting. It’s a powerful tool to spark scientific curiosity and a great gift for young learners who want to understand the universe a little better.
