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? It' s late where I am and almost everyone' s asleep, but I' m 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 they' re 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 children' s writers in the business. " Huffington Post "Jenni Desmond knows just how to make children' s precious imaginations soar. " Guardian
