Through interactive readings and discussions, she's helping kids see how data is part of their everyday lives and showing them how to use it to solve problems.

The Data Detective at the Carnival follows William, a curious boy learning to think critically and solve challenges at a carnival. The book has earned over 50 glowing reviews and a 4.9-star rating on Amazon, with parents and teachers praising its fun and simple approach to teaching data literacy.
