Description

Nicola Davies and Jenni Desmond's first collaboration: a spectacular tour of Planet Earth and a powerful rallying cry.
Where on Earth are you, right now Its late where I am and almost everyones asleep, but Im awake, looking out into the night. Wondering As the clock strikes midnight, a little girl and her sister visit animals of every shape and size, all around the world discovering that, in some places, creatures have just started their day, where in others theyre already busy hunting for food. Turning the popular concept of time-zones on its head and combining it with a powerful climate message and delightful illustrations, this book is narrative non-fiction at its most spellbinding.
Nicola Davies is one of the best childrens writers in the business. Huffington Post
Jenni Desmond knows just how to make childrens precious imaginations soar. Guardian
