description: 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 worldand reminder of its fragilityblends 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.
