Again, Essie? (Storytelling Math)

by Jenny Lacika (Author) Teresa Martinez (Illustrator)

Reading Level: K − 1st Grade

Celebrate diversity, math, and the power of storytelling! Rafael wants to protect his toys from his little sister, Essie. Gathering materials from around the house, he builds a wall tall enough and wide enough to keep her out. But will it be strong enough? And what does Essie really want? A playful exploration of physical space and geometry, 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
Jenny Lacika grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she loved finding amazing rocks, catching lizards, and reading. Later she attended MIT and worked in the energy industry in Boston. After she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and became a mother, she was drawn back to children's literature. She writes about topics she identifies with, such as STEM, disability, and Chicanx culture. This is her first book.

Jenny Lacika se crió en Santa Fe, Nuevo México, donde aprendió a trajabar junto a su hermano mayor y su hermano menor. Descubrió que las matemáticas pueden derribar muros y abrir puertas, se graduó en MIT y jamás dejó de fascinarse con los libros. En la actualidad vive en su ciudad natal con su esposo y sus dos hijos. Este es su primer libro.

When Teresa Martínez was a child, her family moved from a small town to the city. Drawing helped shy Teresa connect with the other kids at school. Now she connects with children across Mexico and around the world through the books she illustrates. behance.net/teresamtz
