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.

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.
