Zero is the Leaves on the Tree by Betsy Franco


Franco, Betsy Zero is the Leaves on the Tree, illustrated by Shino Arihara. Tricycle Press, 2009. $15.99. PICTURE BOOK. How do you explain the concept or purpose of zero to students? Well, use this beautifully illustrated book. The whole idea of zero takes on new meaning when Arihara matches pictures to Franco’s words. What a great reinforcer for a math lesson. EL-ESSENTIAL.
