Essential for any elementary school classroom, library, or math lover, here is an immersive introduction to repeating patterns found in the world around us.

In nature, you can discover geometric patterns repeating everywhere. These mysterious patterns can be found in the tree branches, the lightning strike in a stormy sky, even in the broccoli on your dinner plate. Better known as fractals, these patterns explain much about how things grow. In this intriguing introduction to the mathematical concept of fractals illustrated through examples that can be seen in parks, rivers, mountain ranges, and more, readers will revel in the wonder of math as it is reflected in the world around us.
