Reach for this book when your child feels small, left out, or wonders if they have anything valuable to contribute. It is a perfect choice for those quiet moments when a child expresses that they aren't 'good' at anything yet or feels like a 'zero' compared to their peers. Nula is a minimalist, abstract story about a number who feels like she is nothing. While the other numbers have clear values and jobs, Nula struggles to find her place in the world. Through her journey, she discovers that her presence transforms everything around her, turning simple values into something much greater. This book beautifully normalizes feelings of loneliness and inadequacy for children ages 3 to 7. Parents will appreciate how it uses basic math concepts to teach a profound lesson about self-worth, identity, and the hidden power of being yourself.
