A Cloak for the Dreamer
A Cloak for the Dreamer by Aileen Friedman (Author) and Kim Howard (Illustrator)
This is a wonderful family story of a tailor and his sons as they design and create three cloaks. The mathematical focus is on how geometric shapes fit together to create beautiful designs, however, the book also offers a wonderful message about following your own dreams.
The story can offer a great starting point for a topic on shape, or read simply as a captivating tale in its own right.
A wonderful fable-like story combined with clear, fairy-tale images. Highly recommended.
