Leo loves numbers. Lea loves to draw.
And together they form an unbreakable bond. This picture book
is a true celebration of friendship, math, art -- and different ways
of seeing the world.
One boy loves numbers. Everywhere he looks he
sees things to count.
His classmates don’t understand counting like he does.
A new girl loves patterns. Could she be a friend for Leo?
With sensitivity and nuance, this story of a friendship shows
that anyone can be our friend no matter how different we are. Whether
you're a number nut or an art lover, this is the heartwarming
book you need in your little one's book collection.
Young readers can count the number of words per page and discover
how they echo the Fibonacci Sequence, a mathematical series
in which each number is the sum of the previous two: 0, 1, 1, 2,
3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and so on to infinity!
Even the colour scheme in Kenard Pak’s striking illustrations
follows a mathematical progression.
A beautiful message of inclusion and friendship at its core makes
this a universal story every small child can learn from.
