If you're looking to spark your child's love for numbers and data, you'll want to check out "Daphne Draws Data" - a charming new book from data visualization expert Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic. In this fun and engaging story, readers meet Daphne, a unique dragon who uses her artistic talents to bring data to life through colorful graphs and charts. As Jed and Cole chatted, it was clear that Cole has a true passion for making math and data accessible and enjoyable for kids. "Graphs are just a visual language of numbers," she explained, "and we can use them to help kids solve problems and understand the world around them." Cole shared how she was inspired to create Daphne's adventures after years of teaching data communication skills to adults. "I figured, why not bring these concepts to the younger crowd in a fun, story-driven way?" And that's exactly what she's done, weaving Daphne's journey of self-discovery and problem-solving into a tale that seamlessly incorporates key data visualization principles. Beyond the story, the "Daphne Draws Data" project offers a wealth of resources to support learning, including a graph glossary, activities, and even a parent guide to help grown-ups feel confident discussing the material. As Cole emphasized, the goal is to foster kids' natural curiosity and analytical thinking - skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. So if you're ready to ignite a love of numbers in your little learners, be sure to check out "Daphne Draws Data" - a delightful adventure that proves data can be just as fun as reading, writing, and 'rithmetic! We also have a listen back to our 2022 conversation with Hollywood star and Math genius Danica McKeller, and we meet author C B Oresky.
