What is The World Came to My Place Today about?

When Grandpa arrives to look after George and his sister, he brings a globe and a surprising lesson: the world is hidden in everyday things. As they share breakfast, play with toys and ride their bicycles, George discovers that plants from faraway places provide cereal, chocolate, rubber, wood and much more. Lively storytelling, colourful illustrations, photographs and simple facts reveal how closely our lives are connected to nature and to people and places around the globe.
