Count on Me
by Miguel TancoA 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.

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.
