A Million Dots

A stunning graphic visualisation of numbers, in which the number on  each page is doubled, going from 1 to 1 million in 44 pages.     

We start with a single tree; 1. As we turn the page, we are presented with a sum doubling the number on the page before it: 1+1 = 2; 2+2 = 4; 4+4 = 8. In this way, we reach a million (actually 1,048,576) within 44 pages.     

Each sum is brought to life with a simple graphic illustration in the distinctive style of Sven Voelker. The dots form the back of a ladybird, the bubbles in a cup of soda and the water in a swimming pool. On each page, a single neon dot illustrates what one means in the context of the sum.     

Gloriously simple in its concept and execution, this is a book that will bring  mathematics alive to parents as well as children and will also make a stunning gift book.
