Title: The World Came to My Place Today
Description: The world really does come to visit George when his grandpa arrives, with a globe, to look after him and his sister for the day. Grandpa explains how everything from the cereal they eat for breakfast and the chocolate bars they love, to the rubber in their bicycle tires and wood in their toys, come from plants from all over the world. The lively, simple text follows George's day as he discovers the wonder of plants and how they affect his daily life.
