Romana Romanyshyn Books

Written and illustrated by Ukrainian husband and wife team Romana Romanyshyn and Andriy Lesiv and translated into English by Vitaly Chernetsky, this is a book crammed with information, history, and thought on the phenomenon of sight. Each page is illustrated mostly in infographic style, and is very colourful and eye-catching. This book could be treated as a read-to-the-class book by reading only the larger text at the bottom of each page, and some of the smaller text could be used to spark further discussion of particular sections, or it could be pored over at length by anyone wanting to understand as much as possible about sight. There is so much information in this book it can take much, much longer to read than you might expect from a book of this format, and additionally, at the end, there are further explanations of words or phrases used and suggestions for further things to research or investigate. As well as supporting STEM-based education, this book also encourages thought and reflection on things such as beauty, the invisible, different ways of seeing the world, and ways of experiencing the world without sight. A thoroughly informative book about sight, with so much on each page.
