Zanele is told that numbers are all around her, but she struggles to see them. She asks Gogo, Mom, Linda, and Auntie for help, but each time she only sees objects—jars, carrots, chickens, and hours—not numbers. Feeling frustrated, Zanele turns to her older sister Gugu, who gives her a pair of magic glasses. Gugu explains that if you look at things the right way, you can find numbers in everything. With her new perspective, Zanele sets off to discover the numbers hidden in the world around her.
