Environmental awareness

Two children are arguing in the backseat. Their father takes them on a journey through time and space. He invites them to look back at the earth and the conflicts that have occurred since the beginning of time.
Oliver Jeffers connects a brief history of the world with information about our universe; told from a special perspective, but with humor and beautiful illustrations.
This book gives a unique view of life on earth. Jeffers subtly shows that our place in time and space is only relative and that 'making a difference' starts on a small scale.

Reading is good for language development. It increases and enriches the vocabulary, making it easier for the child to express his own thoughts. Reading can contribute to social development. A child can empathize with different characters and learns that one person can think differently about a situation or event than another. Furthermore, reading improves the child's ability to concentrate and can stimulate the imagination.
