Synopsis
How many ways are there to define forever? With machines that power the sun and moon, ballet dancers, desert islands, abandoned bird cages, firefighters, physics, Shakespeare, and more, Argentinian author-illustrator Pablo Bernasconi, finalist for the 2018 Hans Christian Andersen Award, creates a universe where the possibilities are endless.
Pairing stunning imagery with poetic meditations, Bernasconi invites kids and adults to use their imaginations to consider the concept of infinity. Is it an idea that refuses to be caged in a word? Maybe! Is it a jar full of stories and white ink spilled on the snow? Could be! Winner of the Grand Prize from the Asociación de Literatura Infantil y Juvenil de la Argentina (ALIJA) in 2018, Infinity works equally well as a bedtime story, a teaching prompt, or a graduation gift.

Reviews
K-Gr 2-The concept of infinity utterly engages children almost from the first time they hear about it. Bernasconi approaches it with a page-by-page one-sentence contemplation-"It's a grain of sand lost in a desert somewhere in the world that contains an engraved map for finding yourself"-married to a detailed illustration, in this case, a camel balancing on the head of an hourglass. The quotes and pictures will provide many jumping-off points for discussion with older students, but the philosophical questions and metaphors in this picture book make it better for lap-sharing than independent reading. VERDICT Gorgeous illustrations, but a supplementary purchase.-Lisa Lehmuller, Paul Cuffee Maritime Charter Sch., Providenceα(c) Copyright 2011.
