One world - 24 hours on planet earth

Nicola Davies

I wonder what happens on Earth when far east is already day, and far west is still night. What happens when the clock strikes twelve o'clock to mean midnight? It is midnight in London. While the city sleeps, two little girls begin their journey to different parts of the world. They meet penguins on Antarctic ice and elephants under the African sun… They observe larger whales in the depths of the sea and an albatross flying high above the waves… Between the twelve strikes of the clock before midnight? This magical hour? we will wander with them and meet amazing creatures all over our planet.

A fantastic story that inspires children to take action, defend the planet and celebrate Earth Day.
