About This Book

A curious little girl touches a large globe and is carried through a sequence of imaginative, episodic journeys that place her among varied landscapes and communities. Each chapter offers a compact vignette—arctic huts, Alpine chalets, African scenes, Asian ports, a besieged city and an American visitor—where she observes food, music, work, and local customs. The narrative blends gentle adventure and descriptive detail to introduce young readers to geography and cultural variety in an instructive, anecdotal form.
