About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child begins asking big questions about the world beyond their own town, or seems to be feeling small and disconnected. It's a perfect tool to help a child visualize their place within a vast, interconnected global community. The book unfolds over a single moment, visiting 24 children in different time zones, from a boy waking in Senegal to a girl stargazing in Bulgaria. It gently introduces concepts of time, geography, and cultural diversity, fostering a deep sense of empathy and wonder. For ages 4 to 8, it's a beautifully illustrated journey that reassures children that even when they feel alone, they are part of a vibrant world full of other kids just like them.
