The Magic of Reality
The Magic of Reality is an illustrated science book by Richard Dawkins that tackles big questions—like why seasons change, how rainbows form, and how life evolved—using evidence instead of myths. Each chapter contrasts traditional stories from different cultures with what we now know through science, helping older kids and teens see why scientific explanations are so powerful. The bold artwork and clear, conversational tone make complex ideas feel approachable without talking down to readers. Secular families especially appreciate how the book models curiosity, skepticism, and respect for nature, making it a strong choice for middle schoolers, teens, and adults to read and discuss together.
