About This Book
"One Is a Drummer" invites young readers into the world of a Chinese American girl who finds numbers in her everyday surroundings. Through engaging rhymes, children will count along with her as she observes cultural elements like dragon boats and mahjong players, as well as common objects. This book is perfect for introducing counting concepts while also offering a beautiful window into Chinese American culture, making it a delightful read-aloud for ages 4-8, and an accessible independent read for slightly older children.
A young girl numbers her discoveries in the world around her, from one dragon boat to four mahjong players to ten bamboo stalks.
