Book Description
for Count on Me by Miguel Tanco
From The United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY)
In this beautifully illustrated picture book, a young protagonist sets forth to discover her passion. At home, she emulates the interests of her artistic father, entomologist mother, and musically talented brother. Then, at school, she cooks, dances, and sings, but nothing quite compares to how she feels about math. She loves to find math in ordinary places, such as the geometric shapes on the playground. Readers will inspire to celebrate their talents and look for the math all around them. The back matter includes a replica of the girl's notebook with math concepts, definitions, examples, and meticulous diagrams.
Award winning author and illustrator of over forty books lives in Milan and teaches illustration and creative workshops for children in Spain and Italy.
