As a child, Ashley Sorenson struggled with mathematic concepts. Through continual education, that struggle allowed her to fully understand how important a solid academic foundation is. She has since received two degrees from Utah Valley University in business and behavioral science, and like devoted teachers and parents worldwide, she aspires to create a positive learning environment for children, no matter how grand or subtle that impact may be.
"The clever use of color gradation is what makes the book stand out
most, evoking the passage of time and world travel . . . The
hues are evocative enough to make impressionable readers shiver and
sweat in the same sitting . . . one worth counting."
—Kirkus Reviews"The Very Cold, Freezing, No-Numbers Day is a
creative early numbers story that encourages children to interact
with the story by tracing vanishing numbers, blowing on numbers to
warm them up, and generally helping to rescue the numbers from The
Very Cold, Freezing, No-Numbers Day. The theme of this
exciting story is 'Count to save the numbers,' and children are
motivated to do exactly that. The colors of page illustrations
gradually thaw from icy blues, whites, and purples, to warmer
greens, yellows, oranges and reds. Children who follow these pages
are simultaneously learning numbers, colors, patterns, seasons, and
connection, or the importance of direct intervention. The artwork
in The Very Cold, Freezing, No-Numbers Day is superb and
deeply wedded to the exciting narrative. It is an excellent choice
for a vibrant multi sensory education experience for children ages
2 and up. Another creative learning title from the same publisher
that is also highly recommended is the following: Full of Empty
(9781942934356, $16.95), by Tim J. and M. Priscilla Myers,
illustrated by Rebecca Sorge."
