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!

Author Information

I am Dr. Ayo Olufade, and I believe that science should be exciting, accessible, and magical for every child. With a background in education and a passion for storytelling. I created Gluca's Great Adventure in Bodytown to help young learners connect with the science happening inside their own bodies every day. Inspired by real science and fueled by imagination, my work focuses on sparking early exposure science terms like Glucose, Cells, Enzymes, ATP, and curiosity in STEM fields through characters kids can love and adventures they'll never forget. When not writing, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, writing, and finding new ways to make big ideas simple and fun, bringing awareness to the benefit of STEAM education and careers.
