This book is great, a very welcome resource, one that will take the fear and confusion out of learning mathematics. I often say, 'you know how so many autistic people are great with numbers? I'm not one of them!' How I wish it had been around when I was growing up. Importantly, it shows how to utilise a child's interest. This is where our hearts are, this is how we learn best. This book will open doors for so many children and set them up for life-long learning. It's magic.
