This brightly illustrated picture book introduces young readers to the concept of time zones in an accessible and engaging way. Starting with Jared waking up in San Francisco, the book takes children on a global journey, showing what other kids are doing at that exact moment in different cities like Buenos Aires, London, and Lahore. It effectively explains how the Earth's rotation creates these time differences, making a complex idea understandable for ages 4-11. Beyond teaching about time, it fosters a sense of global awareness and curiosity about diverse cultures and daily routines.
When Jared wakes up in San Francisco at six o'clock in the morning, children in other parts of the world are doing other things, like going to school in Buenos Aires, Argentina, playing soccer in London, England, and eating dinner in Lahore, Pakistan, because of the difference in times zones around the globe. Includes factual material about telling time and time zones.
