The Cabinet of Curiosities: Magic of Light, Sound & Ideas

Join 10-year-old Curio as she opens glowing drawers in a magical antique cabinet and tumbles through time once again!

Discover the surprising stories behind the inventions that light up our world, carry our voices, and spread our ideas: the light bulb that turned night into day, the telephone that connected the planet, books that changed everything, the radio’s invisible waves, clocks that measure the invisible, cameras that freeze memories, glass that lets us see clearly, postage stamps that linked the world, barcodes that speed up life, and the tiny computer chip that powers it all.

Each short, wonder-filled story is packed with gentle humour, unexpected connections, and “Wow!” moments — inspired by James Burke’s Connections. Perfect for curious kids aged 7–12, bedtime read-alouds, and sparking big questions
