Tri's Adventure is a beautifully illustrated children's story that blends science and imagination, following the journey of a tiny whipworm named Tri.
Born as a microscopic egg near a river, Tri dreams of life beyond the soil. Her journey takes an unexpected turn when she enters the human body, where she travels through the digestive system and encounters a hidden microscopic world. Along the way, young readers are introduced to immune cells, gut bacteria, and the ways the body protects itself from parasites.
Told from the worm's point of view, the story presents real biological concepts such as immunity, parasites, and hygiene through narrative rather than instruction. The combination of storytelling and visual detail helps children engage with scientific ideas in an accessible and age-appropriate way.
Written by an immunology researcher, Tri's Adventure encourages curiosity, empathy, and an early interest in how the human body works, making it suitable for independent readers as well as shared reading at home or in the classroom.
