In a quiet town in India, a boy with a head full of numbers began scribbling equations in the margins of old notebooks. He didn't have fancy books or teachers to guide him. What he did have was an unstoppable imagination-and a deep curiosity that refused to quit.

This book tells the inspiring true story of Srinivasa Ramanujan, a self-taught genius who saw math in everything around him. From chalking patterns on the floor to sending his mysterious formulas to professors in England, his path was anything but ordinary. With no money, no formal training, and no one who truly understood him at first, Ramanujan still managed to unlock mathematical secrets that experts are still exploring today.

Written for kids ages 7 to 12, this story celebrates the power of thinking differently, the courage to keep going even when no one else sees your vision, and the beauty of curiosity in its purest form. Through friendly storytelling and surprising details, readers will discover how one young mind helped shape the world of math-and why big ideas can come from the most unexpected places.
