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.
