Leo loves numbers. Lea loves to draw. And together they form an
unbreakable bond. This picture book is a true celebration of
friendship, math, art -- and different ways of seeing the world.
One boy loves numbers. Everywhere he looks he sees things to count.
His classmates don't understand counting like he does. A new girl
loves patterns. Could she be a friend for Leo? With sensitivity and
nuance, this story of a friendship shows that anyone can be our
friend no matter how different we are. Whether you're a number nut
or an art lover, this is the heartwarming book you need in your
little one's book collection. Young readers can count the number of
words per page and discover how they echo the Fibonacci Sequence, a
mathematical series in which each number is the sum of the previous
two: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and so on to infinity! Even the
colour scheme in Kenard Pak's striking illustrations follows a
mathematical progression. A beautiful message of inclusion and
friendship at its core makes this a universal story every small
child can learn from.

Shortly after he is born, Elbert floats up into the air. Before
long, his mother must stand on her tip toes to reach him and toss
toys into the air at playtime. While everyone in town, from the
school nurse to the mayor, is full of advice for keeping her boy
down, Elbert's mother knows her son is meant to float. And so, she
lets him. But as life becomes more and more difficult for a
floating boy, and people understand him less and less, Elbert has
to make a decision: Stay bound to the ground or float higher in the
hopes of finding the world - and community - he's always wished
for.
