Using imaginative storytelling, this book invites children into the kingdom of numbers. Every number has a nature and a way of moving through the world, and every nature holds its value. One stands alone, the source of all. Two brings the first separation, longing for reconnection. Three weaves them back together again—and the story goes on. Each story leads through everyday moments, allowing numbers to grow out of something real and tangible.
