Celebrate diversity, math, and the power of storytelling!

Beto wants to play tea party with Cora, but his big sister just wants to be a pirate. To get Cora on board, Beto makes a map to a delicious hidden treasure. But Cora ends up in the wrong place! Will Cora find the treasure before Beto eats it all? A playful exploration of mapping, featuring Chicanx (Mexican American) characters and a glossary of Spanish words.

Storytelling Math celebrates children using math in their daily adventures as they play, build, and discover the world around them. Joyful stories and hands-on activities make it easy for kids and their grown-ups to explore everyday math together. Developed in collaboration with math experts at STEM education nonprofit TERC, under a grant from the Heising-Simons Foundation.
Jenny Lacika grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she learned to work together with an older brother and a younger brother. She graduated from MIT after discovering how math could break down walls and open doors. Jenny is the author of Again, Essie?, winner of the Mathical Award. She lives in her hometown with her husband and two kids.

Addy Rivera Sonda is the illustrator of the Cutiecorns series, as well as Strong Baby, Strong Mama, You Be Grandma, and many other picture books. She believes that stories and art have the power to build empathy and a more inclusive world. Addy lives in Mexico.
