Real Kids. Good Books.

Our children are gorgeously diverse and they love a good read. At the heart of Real Kids/ Good Books are authors and illustrators who are building a new diverse canon, book by dazzling book.

Themes include: children of color, LGBTQ, adoption, special needs, math, science and writing. And of course there is also a mishmash of miscellany and reblogged tidbits that strike my fancy as they float by.

Thanks for stopping by.

Growing Patterns: Fibonacci Numbers in Nature (2010) by Sarah C. Campbell, photos by Sarah C. Campbell and Richard P. Campbell.
It’s summer and hopefully you’ve gotten out on some hikes, camping trips and the like. This little book can spark a mathematical quest as you tromp around in the great outdoors. Turns out Fibonacci numbers are everywhere in nature. What’s a Fibonacci number, you wonder? Check this out to get the skinny. 
I love geeking out on math. Geeking out on math in nature…? Priceless.
