How DO you measure something as vast and dynamic as the ocean? A poetic invitation to explore the shallows and depths of the ocean, sparking curiosity and wonder while introducing early maths concepts along the way. The ocean can be difficult to measure. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try. You can work most things out... once you know what you're measuring. A lyrical exploration of the beauty of maths and the wonders of the ocean. Inda Ahmad Zahri is an author, illustrator, surgical doctor and scuba diver. She was inspired to create this book when her daughter said, 'What I love about numbers is that they go on and on and on forever.'
