Overview
Overview
This beautiful celebration of friendship, math, and art honors different ways of seeing and being in the world.
Leo loves numbers.
Everywhere he goes, he notices things to count -- flowers, squirrels, footsteps, classmates -- even the words his teacher reads aloud. But sometimes school is an overwhelming place with too much noise to count or think. When Leo's senses overload, he needs to find a quiet place. Fortunately, he also finds Lea, a kindred spirit who appreciates Leo's uniqueness.
With sensitivity and nuance, this delicate look at neurodiversity weaves themes of empathy, acceptance and friendship into a mesmerizing visual narrative that is sure to resonate with anyone who feels different and to spark understanding and inspiriation in all.
To parallel Leo's love of numbers, the text and number of words per page echoes the Fibonacci Sequence, a mathematical series in which two consecutive numbers added together equal the third: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 and so on Even the color scheme in the striking illustrations follows a mathematical progression, bringing an underlying order and tranquility to the story. The beautiful symmetry of this fascinating and compulsively playable game of addition is everywhere in the natural world and is also an intriguing metaphor for the interconnectedness of all things.
