About This Book

Reach for this book when your child starts asking those big, existential questions that make your own brain tilt: like where the universe ends or how long 'forever' actually lasts. This story is perfect for the child who feels a mix of wonder and slight anxiety when faced with the vastness of the world. It validates that some concepts are truly overwhelming while offering a gentle, grounded way to process them. Following a young girl named Uma, the book explores the concept of infinity through everyday relatable lenses: music, family, and even a giant noodle. It moves from a place of 'scary big' thoughts to a place of 'comforting big' feelings. It is an ideal choice for elementary-aged children who are developing abstract thinking skills and need to know that their curiosity, and the occasional 'small' feeling it brings, is completely normal.
