Bookroo's summary

Flora, a young girl with a passion for numbers, dreams of counting every star in the sky. As the daughter of mathematicians, she counts everything around her. But when she gazes at the Milky Way, she wonders if the stars are beyond her reach. Is it possible to count them all? Flora embarks on a journey, starting with simple steps, to see if she can turn her dream into reality. Will her love for counting lead her to the stars, or will she find that some dreams are too vast to measure?

From the publisher

The charming story of a girl’s greatest ambition–to count all the stars in the sky As the daughter of well-known mathematicians, Flora loves to count more than anything in the world. She counts all the things around her–the animals, grains of sand on the beach, and letters in her dad’s newspaper. When Dora looks at the Milky Way, she begins to wonder how to count the mesmerizing number of stars. Is it even possible? Is the night sky so full of stars that even all the numbers she knows would not be enough to count them? Dora soon learns that she needs to deal with such a complicated task by starting with the simplest of steps, and who knows, maybe one day she will achieve her dream.
