Quantum Physics for kids

I have a collection of the Russell Stannard quantum physics hard copies. It took me places as a young man always wondering what an unforgettable journey it would be for school kids. It would not only be a great contribution to physics education for children but also an important, adventurous experience, opening their minds to that offered by these excellent books.
I will with a flash without hesitation get all of his books as audiobooks when-and if they become available. Matt C
