About the Book

Raewyn Caisley’s gentle text and Gabriel Evan’s timeless illustrations conjoin to celebrate the beauty of maths and friendship, hand in hand. From the parallel lines of moonlight pouring through her bedroom blinds, to counting daisy petals in the garden, Maddie adores maths. If only she had a friend who marvelled at it as she does. Then Dad takes Maddie, along with her new classmate Priya, to the observatory where the unfathomable numbers of stars take their breath away.

About the Author :
Raewyn Caisley has enjoyed a long, and in her own words, bloomin’ marvellous career. With 35 titles to her name her work has found its way into libraries and homes all over the world. She’s been shortlisted multiple times, (for the Patricia Wrightson Award, the WA Premier’s Award, and the Adelaide Festival Children’s Literature Award), won the Speech Pathology Book of the Year and the coveted SCBWI Crystal Kite, and even had one of her titles named among the top 15 picture books published worldwide. Her literary contribution to Western Australia has recently been recognised by the WA Museum. Gabriel Evans is an Australian children’s book illustrator and author. He is a dog lover, an avid oak tree grower and drinks copious amounts of tea. Gabriel’s books with Sally Murphy, Roses are Blue, and Penny Morrison, Captain Sneer the Buccaneer, were Notable books in the CBCA Book of the Year Awards in 2015 and 2017 respectively. Between book projects he travels Australia giving illustration workshops and talks in schools and libraries.

Review :
From cover to cover and endpaper to endpaper, this is a wonderful, multi-layered book. Apart from being a terrific, superbly illustrated story, it’s overflowing with classroom potential […] I love that it shows how the imagination and creative thinking, and a fascination with facts, can sit side by side. In this delightful new book, mathematical concepts are explained in story, through the lens of everyday experiences. It also touches on friendships, with Maddie’s interests impacting on her ability to connect with others. With mathematical words throughout, including on the end papers, children can extend their language as well as enjoy the story. Stunning illustrations, with double-page spreads, really bring this magical book to life, offering points for discussion beyond the text. This clever book not only tells a lovely story of new friendship but skilfully starts the process of demystifying the whole language of maths and shows how it can hold the key to mind-expanding notions such as stars, galaxies and planets. To underline the message, the words are sprinkled again across the night sky that fills the front and end papers of the book.
