Snack Time Jam

Illustrated by Leticia Moreno
Celebrate diversity, math, and the power of storytelling!

An empowering board book that reveals the math in everyday play.


It’s snack time! Jesse taps a spoon, and Isabella shakes a snack box. Jamming is fun, but then it gets too noisy! The friends try taking turns to make patterns of sound. Can they jam together without creating chaos?

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.
