The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. I has an explanation of evidence
for the atomic nature of matter that should be understandable without
needing to know mathematics or physics.  It is far preferable to the
simplistic treatment given in books targeted specifically at younger
folks.  It is also an excellent book to have around as one grows up.
