About this book
One Grain of Rice: A Mathematical Folktale by Demi is a mathematical folktale set in ancient India. The story follows a clever village girl who outwits a selfish raja by requesting a reward that doubles each day, starting with just one grain of rice. Through this clever bargain, the seemingly small amount grows into millions of grains of rice. The book demonstrates the power of exponential growth through an engaging narrative suitable for lower elementary students.
