# How to Two - Hardcover

by **David Soman** (Author)

**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.
