Uma is so curious to know about this that she asks her friends and family about this. Her friend Charlie says it is a giant number that keeps growing bigger and bigger forever! Samantha, Uma's friend, thinks that the symbol of infinity is a racetrack where a vehicle could drive around and around forever. Uma's grandma says that infinity is similar to a family's endless descendants.

Uma continues thinking about it as it fascinates her. Ultimately, when Uma's grandma compliments her red shoes, Uma understands more about infinity - "my love for her was as big as infinity".

This book gives a very poetic and playful aspect to a very important Math concept. It has a very peculiar and interesting type of illustrations, well suited for the concept of "Infinity" and Uma's thoughts.

This book would be suitable for middle-grade kids and get them thinking about the vastness of "Infinity".
