Zero

by Kathryn Otoshi

Zero by Kathryn Otoshi is a playful and colourful counting picture book embedded with a deeper message of self-worth and acceptance. Zero sees herself as a big round number with emptiness inside. The other, more colourful numbers have fun, and they count. After trying to change herself and failing, Zero finds another way to realize her value and to feel whole. Otoshi’s simple story and vibrant, minimalist art will intrigue children, even those too young to understand every bit of wordplay and wisdom in the text, while older kids will find food for thought.
