Through friendly emails to children in India, Japan, Russia, France, Saudi Arabia, the USA, and Australia, Apoorva learns why everyone's clocks show different times-and then understands the real science: Earth's rotation and day/night. With clear pictures and a fun classroom ""Sun-Earth"" circle game, this story turns a big STEM idea into something young children can easily grasp.
This book is ideal for introducing time zones and day/night through story, simple science, and active group play.

Socio-Emotional Development
