At the Same Moment, Around the World by Clotilde Perrin

things I love about this picture book:
+ one page of illustration for Viet Nam - my home country, which I'm appreciated.
+ I personally see each spread as a whole illustration telling two parallel stories. The visual part does a great job in convincing the interconnection of all the citizens around the world and offering a unique perspective in each country at the same time.
+ an unusual but interesting choice of size: tall and narrow (great to give the impression of tall buildings, wide sky, kites flying high and somehow, evoking the sense of film aesthetics to me).
+ the pull-out illustrated map attached to the end of the book (which can make fun activities for children.)
+ brief and educational facts about the invention of time zones and the difference between Greenwich Mean Time and Coordinate Universal Time
