A bright new picture book about pairings - introducing the new author/illustrator pair of Marthe Jocelyn and her 19 year-old art student daughter, Nell. This book will appeal to young children everywhere - in both the trade and school and library markets.

Marthe Jocelyn’s ability to present important-to-learn concepts to the very young has garnered accolades from around the world. Ones and Twos is her first book collaboration with her nineteen-year-old art student daughter, Nell, and, together, they explore numeracy, sorting, and pairing. Each brightly illustrated page invites children to identify familiar objects ranging from kites to socks, from one nest to the two birds sitting in it. Ones and Twos gives little toddlers and their caregivers much to discuss and to enjoy together, and it introduces an exciting new creative team.

Praise for Ones and Twos

Praise for HANNAH'S COLLECTIONS
"Tidy and temptingly tactile collages show the young heroine contemplating her many collections, here neatly arranged against a variety of backgrounds... Pack rats should all be this artistic."
-Publishers Weekly

Praise for the READY FOR's...:
"Off with the pajamas! It's time to get ready for summer. Brightly patterned fabric collage images...provide building blocks to help readers prepare for the season."
- Kirkus
"Preschoolers and kindergarteners learn the names of clothes they can choose to wear on cold and frosty days. This introduction to a winter wardrobe features collage artwork rich in colours, patterns, and textures."
- Best Books for Kids & Tweens 2009, Board Books, The Canadian Children's Book Centre
