All About Patterns

Illustrated by Elizabeth Goss
An enlightening picture book exploration about how patterns fill and shape our everyday lives. This mindful meditation challenges kids to see the world differently.

What do you know about patterns? There are simple alternating patterns and more complex ones that spin and spread out. There are patterns in stories and patterns in music. When you dance, you're making patterns with your whole body.

You might even notice a comforting pattern to your day. When that pattern is broken, everything can feel chaotic. But sometimes breaking a pattern can make room for a new one worth repeating!

A thought-provoking and visually stunning exploration of the math, art, and emotion of patterns.
Elizabeth Rusch is the author of several award-winning children's nonfiction titles, including Volcano Rising and Electrical Wizard: How Nikola Tesla Lit Up the World(Candlewick). Her highly acclaimed Scientists in the Field books include the Orbis Pictus Honor book The Mighty Mars RoversEruption!, and The Next Wave(Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). View titles by Elizabeth Rusch
