Little Lenses Big Discoveries

The Science, History, and Wonder of Microscopes for Curious Kids

What would happen if you could suddenly see the invisible?

Inside every drop of water, every breath of air, and every leaf on every tree is a hidden world too small for human eyes to see—until the microscope made it visible. Little Lenses, Big Discoveries is a beautifully written science adventure that introduces kids ages 6–10 to the amazing story of how microscopes work, how they were invented, and how they changed the way humans understand life itself.

Through gentle, story-driven chapters, young readers will:

• Discover how glass and light work together to magnify tiny worlds

• Learn how the first microscopes were built

• Meet the people who first discovered living cells and microorganisms

• See how microscopes changed medicine and helped save lives

• Explore where microscopes are used today—in hospitals, farms, classrooms, crime labs, and even space science
