A free interactive picture book that introduces infinity to kids — based on David Hilbert's famous "Hotel Infinity" thought experiment. The story IS the proof: when a new guest arrives at a hotel where every room is full, every guest moves up one room. The puzzle resolves without ever using the words "infinity" or "set" — but the math is exactly right. Read it free online. Hardcover coming.
I have a 6-year-old daughter. She really loved the illustrations, and toward the end of the book I realized she also understood the idea, which really moved me - that this concept can be conveyed to young children. It’s an engaging book and highly recommended.
