All About Patterns

Illustrated by Elizabeth Goss
Look inside
An enlightening picture book exploration about how patterns fill and shape our everyday lives. This mindful meditation challenges kids to see the world differently.

What do you know about patterns? There are simple alternating patterns and more complex ones that spin and spread out. There are patterns in stories and patterns in music. When you dance, you're making patterns with your whole body.

You might even notice a comforting pattern to your day. When that pattern is broken, everything can feel chaotic. But sometimes breaking a pattern can make room for a new one worth repeating!

A thought-provoking and visually stunning exploration of the math, art, and emotion of patterns.
