One Thing
Do you know how to write a million? 1,000,000
How about a billion? What comes after a trillion?
Is it a squillion or a gazillion? I actually don’t know.
I began writing this story in two thousand and two and finished it finally 12 years later. I wanted to write about numbers because counting is a game we learn from the year dot, nought, zero. How many fingers? How many toes? How many steps until we are home? 3 more spoonfuls and you can get down. 10 minutes is just time for 1 story. Count 100 sheep and you will fall asleep.
There are more numbers in this book than I care to count and more numbers in the world than you will ever know.
“A brilliant book to read and share again and again.”
