Produktbeschreibung
Growing Up and Up and Up is a heartwarming story that takes young readers on a journey through life's many stages - from the excitement of growing up to the peace of growing old. Through simple, engaging text and charming illustrations, this book shows how everyone, no matter what their ages, experience joy, wonder and changes in different ways. Little ones will relate to the joy of playing, learning new things, and imagining endless possibilities, while older children and adults will find comfort in the idea that growing up and growing old are special parts of a beautiful, never ending cycle. As the characters go from childhood to adulthood, and eventually into the wisdom filled years of old age, children will understand the each stage of life is important, meaningful and full of love. As a grandfather with many years of life experience, I have witnessed the beauty of life's journey unfolding. In Growing Up and Up and Up, I share the lessons I've learned along the way, offering insights into the joys and wisdom that come with each passing year. My hope is that my grandchildren and great-grandchildren will find the same joy and meaning in life that I have discovered, cherishing each moment and embracing the adventure of growing up and growing old.
Autorenporträt
David E. McAdams is a storyteller, educator and lifelong explorer of ideas. With a career that spans decades in mathematics education and a deep love for writing, David has authored a wide array of books that blend learning with imagination. His work ranges from playful puzzle collections for young children to detailed explorations of mathematical constants, vocabulary guides and interactive learning resources-all designed to open doors to discovery. David's journey began in the classroom, where he spent time teaching high school math and discovering a truth that would guide his work ever after: children learn best when they're engaged, curious and having fun. Over time, he noticed a critical gap in math education-students were struggling not just with concepts, but with the language of math itself. That insight led him to create All Math Words Dictionary, a comprehensive and kid-friendly resource to strengthen math vocabulary and improve comprehension. But David didn't stop there. He began to write math-inspired books for young readers, books that delight as they teach. In One Penny, Two, a magical penny-doubling story unfolds with charm and wit. In What Is Bigger Than Anything?, children are introduced to the mind-stretching idea of infinity. His My Favorite Fractals and Geometric Nets Project Books invite children to explore patterns, numbers and geometry in tangible, joyful ways. David's books are often playful, poetic and themed with real-world wonder: dinosaurs, fairy tales, space, stuffed animals, hide-and-seek, even swing sets. Each story or puzzle is crafted not only to teach, but to spark imagination. His recent projects include a collection of hundreds of math puzzles for six-year-olds and a themed series that blends math with everything kids love: ice cream cones, treasure hunts, magic tricks and more. His work has been translated into several languages, including Bengali, making his joyful approach to learning accessible to even more children around the world. Whether he's counting stars or exploring the digits of Pi, David brings a deep sense of care and curiosity to every page. Now retired from teaching, David enjoys gardening and the creative joy of writing. He continues to write daily, constantly dreaming up new ways to help children see the beauty of math, the power of language and the magic of asking, "What if?"
