Brief slice-of-life vignettes with no apparent connection recount what children around the world are doing at the same moment in time (e.g., while it's 6:00 a.m. in San Francisco and Jared is just waking up, it's 7:00 p.m. in Lahore, Pakistan, and Rashida is eating dinner). Clock-face images and scenes of children engaged in familiar activities accompany this introduction to time zones.
