In front of the market, she encounters a red creature that is swooshing out with a bag of coins totaling 100 cents.Juniper works with Ms. Maize, the shop owner, to remediate the theft. Along the way, Juniper uses her 3D-Click™ abacus to keep track of the coins she retrieves and teaches readers how to add using the abacus.This interactive book provides step-by-step instructions for readers to follow Juniper as she sets her abacus to tally the coins.About Chi-Hoon Kim and Juniper Eisenberg:Juniper EisenbergJuniper is a brave, fun-loving explorer. Her favorite subject is math and she enjoys using her abacus to solve problems about money. She loves all colors except orange and has a soft spot for pigs and goats. When she is not coming up with jokes, you can find her practicing her parkour moves. Juniper lives in New York City with her parents.Chi-Hoon KimChi-Hoon is Juniper’s mother and an academic who holds a PhD in anthropology with a concentration in food studies. She embarked on the adventure to learn Braille and other non-visual skills when Juniper was born. Her mission is to raise awareness about accessible tools and accommodations to empower children with vision impairments.What is the abacus?An abacus is an ancient calculation device used around the world. It features a frame holding an arrangement of slidable beads on rods. It is a tool that helps people visually and tactilely add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers. Just as typically sighted people use pen and paper to solve math problems, those with vision impairments can use an adapted abacus. The multi-modal book, Juniper and the Red Swoosh features a universally designed 3D printed abacus called the 3D-Click™. With our collaborators Mountain Lakes Public Library Makerspace and Clovernook Center for the Blind & Visually Impaired, we reimaged the abacus with access in mind to modernize and expand the reach of the abacus. The innovative “click and bump” rod design of the 3D-Click™ locks in the counting beads and provides haptic and auditory feedback. These unique features support foundational math literacy skills such as number sense, number bonds, and place value.Paint, build, craft, and collage with us! Inspired by the museum’s exhibitions and local artists, MOCACREATE explores different themes every month. MOCACREATE workshops are designed with families in mind, but all are welcome!Yu Rong is a painter and product designer. She was born in Sichuan and currently lives in New York City, where she is a teaching artist at the Hope Garden Center and at MOCA. She received her BFA in Product Design and MFA in Painting at Parsons School of Design and NYSS, but has been practicing art ever since she was a child.
