So much so that they committed 100% of the proceeds of their latest fiction book- a special edition, Heart's Halo to the Youth Team going on Expedition Africa! Once again, in an exciting and compelling way we(e)press and their team have creatively woven math, science and adventure together in a fun read!

Through Hart's Halo's setting and puzzles, as well as real space science and new quantum physics from The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, the story offers teachers the cross-curricular material they are looking for to bridge literacy science and math. We're working with teachers and building curriculum support to help them use Hart's Halo in the classroom. Check out our learning resources at weepress.org. Journey to Hart's Halo is available at:
