Description
David loves numbers. He counts birds in the sky, steps at the playground, and benches in the park. Counting makes him feel smart—like if he can count something, he truly understands it. One day David decides he will try to count everything in the world.
But soon he runs into a problem.
The waves at the beach never stop.
The stars in the sky are too many.
And when he tries to count how much he loves his mom… the numbers don’t seem big enough.
When David asks his teacher, “How many is forever?” he begins to learn an amazing truth that mathematicians discovered long ago: numbers are powerful, but they cannot explain everything.
Through a gentle and imaginative journey, young readers discover that while numbers help us measure many things in our world, they cannot explain the deeper questions—like why the universe exists or who made it.
In the end, David realizes something wonderful: numbers themselves are clues pointing to a Creator far greater than anything we can count.
Perfect for curious young minds, Can Everything Be Counted? introduces children to big ideas about math, wonder, and faith in a simple, thoughtful, and engaging way.
