Zero Is The Leaves On The Tree
Zero Is The Leaves On The Tree | Betsy Franco
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
It's easy to count three of something-- just add them up. But how do you count zero, a number that is best defined by what it's not? Can you see it? Can you hear it? Can you feel it? This important math concept is beautifully explored in a way that will inspire children to find zero everywhere--from the branches of a tree by day to the vast, starry sky by night.

This wasn‘t remarkable, but it did a good job of making a complicated abstract concept concrete and relatable for kids. And they‘ll enjoy counting “up to” zero along with the refrain of the book. #BBRCPictureBookLetterZ @LibrarianRyan

So over all this was a good book, but I dont get this page. All the others were representing 0 and this shows billions of stars, totally opposite of 0.

LibrarianRyan Hummmmm. That is odd 4y
Sarahreadstoomuch 😂 kids will totally get that! #sarcasm 4y
tjwill Hmm, maybe since it says the sound of the stars, not the stars themselves. But the concept of sound can‘t *exactly* be counted, so...? 🤔 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y

I like the subtle, diverse illustrations in this book, which shows young readers what zero looks like...when ducks leave a pond or when there are no more leaves on a tree, as an example. It‘s a hard concept to describe to young readers, & I‘m not quite sure all of the phrases work well in the telling - zero sounds like snow falling on a mitten, for instance. But, bravo for depicting a diverse group of kids throughout the book. Letter Z #BBRC #A2Z
