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.本書作者Nicola Davies在Walker與Candlewick出版過許多知識性的繪本。這本書的出版,從正文開始前的導讀,到書末的作者與繪者的話,都提到了環境保護的重要。故事從凌晨0點的倫敦開始,而倫敦也是格林威治天文臺的所在地,兩個不睡覺的小女孩,帶我們去神遊地球
