“Why can’t I count all the stars even though I know so many numbers, formulas and equations?” As the daughter of well-known mathematicians, Dora loves to count more than anything else. She counts all the things around her, even all the animals in the world that she can only imagine. While Dora looks at the Milky Way, she begins to wonder how to count the mesmerizing stardust with every one of its particles. Is it possible at all? Is the night sky so full of stars that 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 through the smallest steps, and who knows, maybe one day, she will achieve her dream. Stars and Poppy Seeds was awarded the Bologna Ragazzi Award 2014 in the section of Opera Prima. Age 4-8.
