A follow up the successful 2012 Abbeville Kids title Alphabet Everywhere, Elliott Kaufman's creative photography book allows children (and adults) to discover unintended number shapes found in unexpected places.As in Alphabet Everywhere, where there was a world of letters just waiting to be discovered, Numbers Everywhere reveals how digits and mathematical symbols can be found in the world around us - if we know how to look for them. In this engaging and delightful book, Kaufman reveals the "secret" life of numbers through his photographs, showing how they can be found in things we encounter everyday. Each number is represented by multiple images, unintentionally created by the intersection of architectural details, shadows, light, or natural elements as caught by the photographer's keen eye.
