Author Bio
Lynda's career as a mathematics educator began in Scarborough, ON, 33 years ago. Since then, her roles have been many: K-12 teacher, consultant, researcher, professor, columnist, textbook author, and collaborator on The Prime Radicals (a live-action children's television program also based on her Kingston Whig-Standard newspaper columns). The common denominator? Lynda's mission to dispel the myth that math is the bad guy!

Jane Kurisu is an illustrator whose books include The Sleepover Book and The Jumbo Book of Gardening. She lives in Toronto, Ontario.
