Take a magical ride around the globe to see the wonders of a single
moment in a story illuminating our precious and fragile natural world.
Our planet is always turning. It may be midnight in London, but in
different time zones other living things are waking up, ready to hunt or
feed or fight. As the clock strikes twelve, two sisters are spirited
away on a journey to glimpse, in the span of a moment, extraordinary
biodiversity: a mother polar bear and her cubs hunting seals in
Svalbard, tiny turtles in India following the moon toward the sea, and
enormous whale sharks gulping plankton in the Philippines. Quietly
profound, this glowing tribute to the natural world--and reminder of its
fragility--blends accessible science, lyricism, sweeping artwork, and a
call for climate awareness into an ideal companion book for Earth Day,
or any wondrous day on Earth.
