It's LUNA PICKS A LUCKY DUMPLING's Book Birthday!! I'm so excited to bring you the latest Luna math adventure. School Library Journal calls it: "A vibrant, culturally rich addition to math collections that engagingly combines storytelling and probability."
Wow! Thank you Children’s Literature Comprehensive Database for this glowing review of LUNA PICKS A LUCKY DUMPLING: Interactive, fun, challenging, and humorous, this mathematical delight is sure to kick off countless probability units. A clever read for all.
My upcoming picture book, LUNA PICKS A LUCKY DUMPLING, (Charlesbridge Publishing) is releasing on MAY 19! It features the Dragon Boat Festival. In my latest newsletter, I cover the legend, the food, the traditions, and a cute Dragon Boat craft: app.smore.com/n/jczes
