A young girl sees the world differently in this beautiful picture book celebration of math. Everyone has a passion. For some, it's music. For others, it's art. For our heroine, it's math. When she looks around the world, she sees math in all the beautiful things: the concentric circles a stone makes in a lake, the curve of a slide, the geometric shapes in the playground. Others don't understand her passion, but she doesn't mind. There are infinite ways to see the world. And through math is one of them. This book is a gorgeous ode to something vital but rarely celebrated. In the eyes of this little girl, math takes its place alongside painting, drawing and song as a way to ponder the beauty of the world.Author: Miguel TancoPublisher: Tundra Books (NY)Published: 06/11/2019Pages: 48Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 1.05lbsSize: 11.50h x 8.40w x 0.50dISBN: 9780735265752Audience: Ages 4-8Review Citation(s): Kirkus Reviews 04/15/2019School Library Journal 06/01/2019 pg. 68Booklist 06/01/2019 pg. 103Shelf Awareness 07/05/2019Publishers Weekly 07/15/2019Horn Book Magazine 09/01/2019 pg. 74Hornbook Guide to Children 07/01/2019 - Superior,Well Above AverageAbout the AuthorAward-winning artist MIGUEL TANCO is a children's book author and illustrator.
