From the co-creator of the New York Times bestselling Ladybug Girl series comes a joyful counting book about inclusivity, play, and the thrill of making new friends--from one to ten and back again.

From the co-creator of the New York Times bestselling Ladybug Girl series comes a joyful counting book about inclusivity, play, and the thrill of making new friends--from one to ten and back again.

A quiet day at the playground turns into a boisterous park-wide adventure as one boy on the slide becomes two kids on the see-saw, then three jumping rope. Before long, ten new friends are playing like they've known one another forever.

With its deceptively simple text and a rich visual narrative, How to Two is a playful counting and reverse-counting concept book as well as an exuberant celebration of inclusive play, friendship, and community.

"A joyous celebration of play...Seamless...Diverse." --The Horn Book (starred review)
"Inviting and welcoming." --BCCB (starred review)
"Dynamic." --Booklist

Industry Reviews

A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year
A BCCB Blue Ribbons List Selection

"Exciting . . . In kinetic illustrations, Soman champions diversity, inclusiveness, and the power of allowing children to play as they wish." --Publishers Weekly

"A counting book that could also serve as a set of inclusivity instructions. . . . Inviting . . . Seamless . . . Diverse . . . Friendly . . . Bright . . . When, at sunset, the adults arrive [at the playground] to collect their children, Soman depicts what appear to be single parents, same-sex couples, grandparents, and a mother in a hijab; it's a wonderfully mixed group. . . . This joyous celebration of play closes with an invitation to spot ten creatures in the park; viewers will be happy to return to the beginning to find them." --The Horn Book (starred review)

"Most valuable . . . are Soman's thoughtful, diverse depictions of the children and families . . . No two ways about it--this one is a delight." --Kirkus

"Part counting book, part socialization celebration, and part story, this clever narrative . . . is an inviting and welcoming outing." --BCCB (starred review)

"Celebrates the joy and energy of childhood . . . Dynamic . . . Children will easily see themselves in [these pages]." --Booklist
