review:
'Count on Me' with words and illustrations by Miguel Tanco is a picture book about how it's ok to like different things. In the case of this ebook, that is math.

The young girl in the book observes all the passions of the people in her family, like painting or studying insects. At school, we see her trying all kinds of things like dance and cooking and acting, but her true passion is math. She sees it in everything, even the stones she skips in the lake.

There are many things in the world to be passionate about. Why not math? I love the approach of this ebook in not trying to demonize math. The illustrations are a bit muted, but really nice. I like the addition of the math concepts at the end of the ebook.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Tundra Books, Penguin Random House Canada, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
