description: When Nanda is born the whole of her world is the circle of her mothers arms. But as she grows the world grows too. It expands outwardfrom her family to her friends to the city to the countryside. And as it expands so does Nandas wonder in the underlying shapes and structures patterning it: cogs and wheels fractals in snowflakes. Eventually Nandas studies lead her to become an astronaut and see the small round shape of Earth far away. A geometric meditation on wonder Small World is a modern classic that expresses our big and small place in the vast universe.
