About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the social hierarchy of a new group or feeling like they are too small to make a difference. It is a rhythmic, high energy companion for toddlers and preschoolers that turns a lesson in counting into a story about finding one's place in the world. As numbers from 1 to 99 scramble up an apple tree, the number 0 watches from the sidelines, wondering if there is room for him. When a swarm of bees threatens the group, 0 realizes that his unique value isn't just in being himself, but in how he can partner with others to create something bigger. This book is a wonderful choice for building both early math literacy and the emotional confidence to join in when everyone else seems to be ahead.
