SOMEWHERE
IN THE "Somewhere
in the world right now, it's deepest night..." Elephants sleep in
the African darkness. A London baker bakes bread. In Madagascar, a little
girl dreams of tomorrow. 'But somewhere else, tomorrow is already here."
A rooster crows in India, while an Australian kangaroo takes a nap. And
in Chicago, commuters speed toward home as the day draws to a close. How
can all these things happen at once? This book--filled with lush paintings,
a gentle text and a multitude of maps--takes the mystery out of time zones,
while showing children the varied richness of the world they live in.

PURPLE MOUNTAIN Junior Library
Guild selection. In 1893, Katherine Lee Bates, a young professor of English
at the newly established Wellesley College, took a train out west to teach
summer school in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The extraordinary beauty
of the nation's landscape affected her deeply, and she was moved to write
a poem of praise--AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL--which has inspired generations
ever since. |
