We Are One: How The World Adds Up

We Are One: How The World Adds Up has us counting and loving every second of it! A wonderful STEM book that will let you see the world through numbers.

Synopsis

Consider the two slices of bread that make up one sandwich, or the three lines of poetry that form one haiku, or even the ten years that form one decade. From one to ten, from sandwiches to centuries, every part is necessary to the whole.

In this fascinating concept book, a simple rhyming narration aimed at younger children is complemented by informational panels about subjects like the four compass points, the five acts in Shakespheare, the seven colors of a rainbow, or the nine innings in baseball.

#MelAndNikkiReview

We Are One: How The World Adds Up has us counting and loving every second of it! A wonderful STEM book that will let you see the world through numbers.

This book looks at math concepts such as part/whole relationships, fractions and addition. At the same time, it connects it with themes of cooperation, peace and kindness.

For this #MelAndNikkiReview, we give this book 5 stars out of 5! We love how the author ties math to the real world and how we can see math all around us. One of my favorite pieces is the explanation at the bottom of each page that allows parents to expand the story a bit further with the children.  Make sure to check the back of the book as it offers ample of great information.

Level up with this great addition to your  reading line up!

Math is my favorite subject in school and I love how this books lets you see math in the world. – Nikki, Age 7
