Using imaginary invisible glasses as a starting point, this book asks what feelings, ideas, and everyday sensations might look like if they could be seen. Its examples range from an itch and a dog’s bark to the taste of a lollipop, gratitude, grit, and the mixed emotions a sad song can bring. It also considers how laughter can spread, even when it begins as a pretend laugh.
