ABOUT DANICA
Best known for her roles on The Wonder Years, The West Wing, and lately for her popular holiday movies on Great American Family channel (and formerly on Hallmark channel), Danica McKellar is also the New York Times bestselling author of 12 math books for kids, with over 2 million copies currently in print.
Starting with “Math Doesn’t Suck,” “Kiss My Math,” “Hot X,” and “Girls Get Curves: Geometry Takes Shape,” books aimed at middle school and high school readers, by popular demand she then wrote her first children’s picture book, “Goodnight Numbers” followed by “Ten Magic Butterflies,” the “Bathtime Mathtime” series, and “Do Not Open This Math Book,” aimed at 6-8 year olds, introducing us to the sweet character of Mr. Mouse while helping kids parents and teachers everywhere with the new methods being taught for addition and subtraction! Mr. Mouse made his second appearance in “The Times Machine!,” aimed at 8-10 year olds and teaching multiplication and division with comics and time travel, of course! Both “Do Not Open This Math Book” and “The Times Machine!” earned Amazon’s Book of the Year. Most recently, she added adorable picture books (and Amazon editor’s picks for Best Books ages 3-5!) “Double Puppy Trouble” and “I Love You 100: A Counting Book Full of Love” to her list of instant hits!
She is also an internationally-recognized mathematician and advocate for math education. A summa cum laude graduate of UCLA with a degree in Mathematics, Danica has been honored in Britain’s esteemed Journal of Physics and the New York Times for her work in mathematics, most notably for her role as co-author of a ground-breaking mathematical physics theorem which bears her name (The Chayes-McKellar-Winn Theorem). She is incredibly proud that “Goodnight Numbers” was selected for inclusion in Dolly Parton’s literacy charity, The Imagination Library, and her voice can be heard narrating its documentary, “The Library that Dolly Built.”
