Reader’s Review

A unique way to teach time zones to young readers – each page of the book mentions a child and a place in the world at a different time zone. This book has many lessons for readers and teaches the concept of a large and diverse world in a beautiful way. It’s unfortunate that one page shows two children kissing, otherwise it would be highly recommended.

To look out for 

  • Islamic Values: On one page a child spends the night dancing, and on another page two children kiss on the lips and say goodbye.
