Brand new book.
 
Celebrated author-illustrator and master explainer David Macaulay brings his
unique voice and style to high-interest nonfiction books for newly independent

How can you see that your shirt is on inside out? How do you see the soccer
ball coming right at you? How do you know which players are on your team?
It all starts with light--and with the amazing human eye. With his unique blend
of informative text and illustration, David Macaulay shows how the anatomy
of this extraordinary organ works to capture light and send signals to our brains.

about the senses for newly independent readers.

About the Author
Born on December 2, 1946, David Macaulay was ten when his family moved
from England to the United States. An early fascination with simple technology
and a love of model making and drawing ultimately led him to study
architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design. He received his degree
in 1969 after spending his fifth year with RISD’s European Honors Program
in Rome. The next four years were spent working in interior design, teaching
junior and senior high school art and tinkering with the idea of making books.
The tinkering paid off. His numerous awards include the MacArthur Fellowship,
the Caldecott Medal, won for his book Black and White, the Boston Globe–Horn
Book Award, the Christopher Award, an American Institute of Architects Medal,
the Washington Children’s Book Guild Nonfiction Award, the Deutscher
Jugendliteraturpreis, the Dutch Silver Slate Pencil Award, and the Bradford
Washburn Award, presented by the Museum of Science in Boston to an
outstanding contributor to science. He was U.S.nominee for the biennial,
international Hans Christian Andersen Award in both 1984 and 2002.
Macaulay currently lives with his family in Vermont.
