The World of Wonders

Rasmus Åkerblom & Erik Svetoft

When science becomes magical. “Close your eyes and see!” Read aloud to your child and learn to discover the many wonders in our world. Beneath ordinary reality hide the “atomic dots”, the “soap eels”, and everything that makes the world work. Rasmus Åkerblom calls it “The World of Wonders”. And whoever sees this hidden world of wonders understands everything: why the sky is blue, why you get sick from viruses, and why you preferably shouldn’t fall into black holes.

Rasmus Åkerblom is a science journalist and presenter who has written a breathtaking book that is wonderful to read aloud, illustrated by Erik Svetoft’s magnificent, detailed pictures.

WINNER OF THE CARL VON LINNÉ PLAQUE FOR BEST NON-FICTION BOOK FOR CHILDREN OR YOUNG READERS 2021

The jury’s praise: “Rasmus Åkerblom already in the title invites us into a wonderful world where natural science is made visible in our everyday life. It begins with a soap, which leads the reader towards the infinite space. With humor and a personal tone, Åkerblom also lets us discover our inner universe. The text interacts well with Erik Svetoft’s illustrations and together they lure the reader into science.”

Press voices 

The book has an appealing layout and manages to awaken a curiosity for reality, how unreal as it may seem. Absolutely a book to marvel at by both big and small. From concrete to eggs and everything in between.” Eva Wahlström, Borås Tidning

“”The World of Wonders” explains everything from black holes to why viruses moves into our cells. It’s an imaginative course for both children and adults” Expressen
