Review Quotes
"Reminds young people that our world is so much wider than it might appear and invites them to explore these far-flung areas--not as tourists but as members of a global community.... A brilliant, uplifting, and world-embracing tale to unite us in divisive times." -- Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
A "visually lush, expansive meditation on simultaneity and shared existence....For those beginning to sense that there's a vast world beyond their own doorstep, this philosophical work affirms how lives occur contemporaneously, 'together, right now.'"
-- Publishers Weekly
"Thought-provoking... encourages young readers to broaden their perspectives.... A meditative, inspiring musing about being part of a global community." -- Booklist
"10 of the Best New Children's Books Being Released in January." -- Book Riot
"Beautifully emphasizes how everything is connected .... uplifting and visually engaging." -- The Kids Are All Right "In our busy daily lives, we don't often stop to think about what others around the world are doing at the same time. This book makes the case that we really should, helping kids imagine what people of all ages (and animals too) might be doing in other places right at the moment." -- We Are Teachers
