Stella’s Magic Equation – featuring main characters who are blind and hearing impaired – is a heartwarming early chapter book (ages 7–11) about friendship, empathy, and inclusion.
Stella lives on a farm, carries a baby animal with her wherever she goes (except to school), and loves math—especially equations—almost as much as she loves her furry friends. But staying happy is a struggle. To keep track of her feelings, Stella writes equations in her notebook throughout the day. At night, she analyzes her happy and sad equations, hoping to find the one magic formula that always equals happiness.
When Beau, a bunny friend from the warren behind her barn, loses his eyesight in a farming accident, Stella is determined to help him stay safe from hungry raptors as he frolics in the clover.
Full of fun and quirky characters this first of three stories in the collection is a heart-filled, whimsical, and magical story about mistakes, friendship, making amends, and the equations that connect us all. Perfect for classroom discussions, family reading, and social-emotional learning.
