Circle! Sphere! (Storytelling Math)
Caldecott Honor winner Grace Lin celebrates math for every kid, everywhere!
Manny and his friends Olivia and Mei blow bubbles in this playful introduction to geometry. Manny's wand is a circle. Olivia's wand is a square. Mei's wand is a heart. What shape will their bubbles be? (Surprise! They're all spheres.)
