Long before computers and calculators, Al‑Khwarizmi helped people learn to solve problems step by step. In Questions of Al‑Khwarizmi: How Numbers Help Us Think, children meet this pioneering scholar through friendly storytelling and thoughtful illustrations. Rather than presenting complex equations, the book focuses on clear thinking. Young readers explore how numbers can help with unknown problems, why balance matters, and how careful steps can turn confusion into understanding. It also introduces the idea behind algebra in a simple, friendly way—without pressure. Written for ages 4–10, this picture book is designed for curious kids, parents, and educators who want to introduce early math thinking in a calm, meaningful tone. It’s especially fitting for bedtime reading with purpose, classroom discussion, or homeschool lessons that value curiosity and problem‑solving. This is not a textbook—it’s an invitation to think.
