Unwrapping the Story

Do you have a particular passion for something?  Is it music?  Is it painting?  Is it cooking?  Well today's little heroine has a passion for math.  What?  How could anyone possibility love math? 

This young girl looks around her world and see shapes, and numbers and all the math possibilities that surround her.  Math seems to be hidden from others but to her it is exposed.  She sees geometric shapes on the playground, concentric circles as she skips stones across the water, and the curve of playground slide just to name a few.  Every day she uncovers more math-meaning in her every day life. 

This book is a celebration of math and it's wonders.  The author concludes that:  "there are infinite ways to see the world" and the little girl is gifted with seeing it through the lens of mathmatics.  The illustrations are beautiful and enhance the text greatly.  Included at the end is a sneak peek into the little girl's math journal where she daily records her math discoveries.  I highly recommend this book.  It is terrific from beginning to end.  Well done!
