Reach for this book when you want to slow down and help your child find the extraordinary in the ordinary. If your child is a natural observer who loves to point out shapes in the clouds or patterns on the sidewalk, this book will feel like a secret treasure map. It is perfect for those moments when you need a quiet, meditative activity that fosters both focus and creative thinking. City by Numbers is a wordless journey through a metropolis where the numbers 1 through 21 are hidden within the architecture and infrastructure of the urban landscape. From a bridge that forms a '1' to a park bench that hides a '4', the photorealistic paintings challenge the viewer to look closer. It is a brilliant tool for building patience and persistence in children aged 3 to 8, teaching them that beauty and logic can be found in even the grittiest city corners.
