Maryam’s Magic: The Story of Mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani

Until Maryam unexpectedly discovered a new genre of storytelling: In geometry, numbers became shapes, each with its own fascinating personality—making every equation a brilliant story waiting to be told.

As an adult, Maryam became a professor, inventing new formulas to solve some of math's most complicated puzzles.

From Althea Gibson author Megan Reid and rising star artist Aaliya

Jaleel, illustrator of Under My Hijab, comes the first picture book

about trailblazing mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman to win the

world’s most prestigious honor in mathematics. Perfect for fans of Hidden

Figures and Mae Among the Stars.

As a little girl, Maryam Mirzakhani was spellbound by stories. She loved

reading in Tehran’s crowded bookstores, and at home she'd spend hours crafting

her own tales on giant rolls of paper.

Maryam loved school, especially her classes in reading and writing. But she

did not like math. Numbers were nowhere near as interesting as the bold,

adventurous characters she found in books. Until Maryam unexpectedly discovered

a new genre of storytelling: In geometry, numbers became shapes, each with its

own fascinating personality—making every equation a brilliant story waiting to

be told.

As an adult, Maryam became a professor, inventing new formulas to solve some

of math's most complicated puzzles. And she made history by becoming the first

woman—and the first Iranian—to win the Fields Medal, mathematics’ highest

award.

Maryam's Magic is the true story of a girl whose creativity and love

of stories helped her—and the world—to see math in a new and inspiring way.
