Overview

Gluca's Great Adventure in Bodytown is a fun, science-based picture book that follows Gluca, a curious little sugar molecule, on an exciting journey through the human body. When Gluca receives a mysterious message inviting her into a cell, she begins an adventure that teaches children how the body uses food for energy. Guided by Enzo the Enzyme, Gluca travels through a glycolysis maze, splits into two pyruvates, and rides the magical Citric Cycler to the Power Station (mitochondria). Along the way, she meets helpful friends like ATP and NADH and learns how oxygen helps turn her into energy that powers all of Bodytown. With playful characters, vibrant scenes, and age-appropriate science, this story introduces kids to the basics of cellular respiration and how food fuels the body. Perfect for curious minds ages 5-8, this book brings science to life with storytelling, teamwork, and adventure!
