One Moment In Time Creative Tote Bag

Come and travel around the world with this book! On your journey you will visit eleven different countries and meet eleven different children.

Learn what they are doing in their part of the world at exactly the same moment in time. This is a joyful, cultural book that celebrates diversity and shares a message of unity for all children around the world.

From travel writer Ben Lerwill, and with beautiful illustrations from Alette Straathof this non-fiction picture book introduces children to different cultures around the world.  Sharing this book with children is sure to spark many fascination questions and topics of conversation as they consider their lives, families, homes and interests and then compare and contrast it with the lives of the children in the book.

Alette, the illustrator, uses watercolour, Indian ink and colour pencils to create her art work for the book.  Children will notice how her illustrations are colourful, playful and happy.

Children will learn how to use watercolour paints in a variety of ways in order to create different effects. They will use these techniques to create art that explore maps, time and different countries. They will imitate Alette’s style to make drawings of children featured in the book and bring them to life using their watercolours, pencils and crayons.
