The Boy Who Loved Math: The Improbable Life of Paul Erdős

The Boy Who Loved Math: The Improbable Life of Paul Erdős | Written by Deborah Heiligman & Illustrated by LeUyen Pham | Published by Roaring Book Press 2013

I am a fan of LeUyen Pham's illustrations—Princess in Black! Alvin Ho! This is an entertaining book about the life of mathematician, Paul Erdős. However, reading about the art-making process for this book was the highlight for me. A great example for kids to see that subjects in school do not live in vacuums—math, words, and art do come together!

I absolutely adored this graphic novel about a tiger and her monster friend teaming up to fight nightmares!

Spend a day with a sister and brother as they go on a trip to the zoo. The author/illustrator uses only words with double o's to tell the story and blends them beautifully with the textured illustrations. Check out the sequel—Hello!
