I'm passionate about fostering a growth mindset, especially towards math! I write children’s books and create resources that show kids that math can be creative and fun. I want every child to believe they can do math and know it's for them too!

Addition class has started, and Addie Alpaca is frozen while her classmates breeze through every problem. She tries her teacher's strategy, then her friends' methods. Nothing clicks until she finds a way of understanding numbers that's all her own. Because the best way to do math is the way that works for you.
"This is such a helpful and thoughtful book. Addie the Alpaca is adorable, and her struggle is very important. Math can be hard, but you can do it. You just have to find a way that works for you! Cute illustrations. Kids are going to love these animals."
— Diane
"As I just started homeschooling my son, this book has been a great help to learn different ways to teach him addition. I appreciate the "note to parents" at the end of the book to give practical ways to use the same adding strategies addressed in the book with my own children. The illustration is adorable and the book really engaged my 6 year old son. Grateful for the support this book has provided for my son as he steps into the world of math."

"Math is so intimidating and this book presents a super clear, fun way to approach addition. This is great for any child discouraged or struggling to understand math and for parents to help them."
— Zahi
"Emphasis on addition. Like every animal in the book, kiddos learn differently. Helping them navigate how they learn is so important and a great reminder for caregivers, along with perseverance. Being good at something takes patience and practice. Would recommend!"
