About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to slow down and help your child find the extraordinary in the ordinary. If your child is a natural observer who loves to point out shapes in the clouds or patterns on the sidewalk, this book will feel like a secret treasure map. It is perfect for those moments when you need a quiet, meditative activity that fosters both focus and creative thinking. City by Numbers is a wordless journey through a metropolis where the numbers 1 through 21 are hidden within the architecture and infrastructure of the urban landscape. From a bridge that forms a '1' to a park bench that hides a '4', the photorealistic paintings challenge the viewer to look closer. It is a brilliant tool for building patience and persistence in children aged 3 to 8, teaching them that beauty and logic can be found in even the grittiest city corners.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focused on the intersection of art and mathematics.
Ideal Reader
A 6-year-old who is perhaps feeling overwhelmed by the noise of a city or a child who enjoys 'I Spy' books but is ready for something more sophisticated and artistic. It is perfect for a child with a 'stem-brain' who needs an entry point into fine art.
