Description: "Leo is totally fixated on numbers and counting everything, even the words in the story the teacher reads; Lea is the shy new girl who shares his desk, and spends all her time drawing--but one day, in the noise of the playground, an accident brings them and their obsessions together in the beginning of a friendship"--
Review Quotes:
Praise for Leo + Lea:

"Math and art combine for a portrait of blossoming friendship in this picture book infused with layers of Fibonacci numbers. . . . Pak's primarily digital renderings work in harmony . . . [and] frequently radiate pastel hues. It all adds up to an inventive, affecting story." -- Publishers Weekly
