What I appreciate most about this book, is how cleverly designed each page is not just with the artwork and fun storyline but how practical and useful these math problems are in and outside of the classroom. This book is amazing because it not only has great problems, but it shows how we can use math in our lives and starts moving the creative gears on thinking about businesses and linking the math world with the business world in a fun, interactive and creative way.” Nancy’s 14-year-old Grandson is thriving with this “We absolutely LOVE this book!

The Thinking Tree Publishing"I bought this for my 13 yr old daughter she has Asperger's and hates math. She won't fully admit it but she loves this book and you can tell that she really likes working in it. She talks to me about it and has not had trouble working out the problems. We have a fun time trying to work out the bonus questions and she likes to look forward in the book. We love the little employees and the names of the inventions they are really funny. My younger ones like to look at the pictures of the inventions and talk about what the inventions might be for/do. This book is a lot of fun and I like that it has "real life" math in it which helps to show why you need to know how to do math. It's also a good size for taking with us when we have appointments outside of the home and she is able to complete the work independently both of which are a bonus."-Amazon Review

About the author

Sarah Janisse Brown is the inventor of Dyslexia Games, a world traveler, pancake flipper, potty trainer, happy wife and a homeschooling mother of ten.

In her free time, she fills her journals with art, poetry and prayers, paints murals and mindlessly says "yes" to every child that asks to keep a stray kitten.

Sarah's stories have appeared in Old Schoolhouse Magazine, Above Rubies Magazine, Countryside Magazine, Mother Earth News, as well as several small newspapers. Sarah and her husband Joshua met at Calvary Chapel in Cincinnati, Ohio when they were young teens and were married under a bright blue Indiana sky seven years later. The first baby was born ten months later. He was so cute they decided to have nine more.

After several years of competing in the rat race, and adding a new baby to the family every year or two, the couple decided to pack up the kids and follow their childhood dreams. So in 2012 the family opted out of the American Dream, sold everything (or gave it away, because most of it was junk that came from yard sales and thrift shops) and moved to Europe.

Josh sold his computer service business and Sarah resigned from her seat on the Fortville Town Council, where she had been serving as vice president. To survive they started a publishing company (The Thinking Tree, LLC, and began selling selling workbooks for Dyslexic children online. Joshua and Sarah are the developers of creative curriculum and therapy for children with Dyslexia, Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD. They have a heart to help children who struggle with schooling, like Sarah once did, as well as their own dyslexic daughters.

Their online business - www.DyslexiaGames.com, allows them freedom to live and work anywhere on earth... with an internet connection. Recently the family appeared on the reality show House Hunters International, when they moved from Fortville, Indiana to Veneto, Italy. Back in Indiana the Browns were known for the unruly urban homestead, complete with goats and ducks, that they created in their own backyard on Main Street. The Browns now enjoy a life full of love, adventure, serving and learning wherever they may go.

The family now travels the globe together and enjoy a life of mission work, fun-schooling, and travel. They have missed many trains, planes and buses, but they never miss out on the things that matter like love and laughter!
