In this new math picture book, two comical creatures go crazy with graphs in an imaginative look at organizing information. Kids learn all about bar graphs, pie charts, Venn diagrams, and more, as a lizard and a frog explain each step of each graph. Clear examples and plenty of humor make this guide to a vital part of math curriculum fun as well as fundamental. The comic book style art makes the concepts easy to follow, accessible, and add to the humor of the text.
I've been writing and illustrating picture books for children for over twenty-five years. Though I majored in art in college, at the time I wasn't sure what kind of artist to be. Fortunately, it turned out that combining words and art to create picture books was a perfect career for me. Most of my books center around a particular topic such as fractions, the solar system, writing, and so on. The characters and story lines help put the subject matter into a meaningful context for young readers.
After growing up mostly in Delaware, I moved to central Florida a couple of decades ago, and currently live with my husband Andy on a three acre property with hawks, herons, and horses (the horses live next door.) We love the rustle of the pines in the breeze, the screeching of sandhill cranes flying overhead, and the chattering of many small birds that come and go as they please.
