  Here: The Dot We Call Home is a simple and enchanting book that invites children to see themselves as both descendants and ancestors, and caretakers of our beautiful planet. 
  This is my home. I live here. But I am not the first… 
  When a child finds clues that others have lived in her house before her, she begins to wonder about them, and about those who will come after her. The more she wonders, the more her sense of home expands, stretching to include an entire planet. 
  With her thoughtful approach and her unique ability to make big concepts engaging and personal to children, Laura Alary invites readers along for the ride, zooming through time and space to the outer reaches of our solar system for a new perspective on the planet we share. The child marvels: How can something so big seem so small? But also: How can something so small seem so big? Overwhelmed by the mess that humans have left behind, in the end she realizes that there is only one thing to do: start where she is. 
  In spare and simple words, Here: The Dot We Call Home helps children begin to think of themselves as both descendants and ancestors, and to comprehend that people of every place and time share one home, and the task of looking after it.

  A Traveler in Time by August Derleth - You can't always escape evils by running away from them... but it may help! 
  "Tell me what time is," said Harrigan one late summer afternoon in a Madison Street bar. "I'd like to know." 
  "A dimension," I answered. "Everybody knows that." 
  "All right, granted. I know space is a dimension and you can move forward or back in space. And, of course, you keep on aging all the time." 
  "Elementary," I said. 
  "But what happens if you can move backward or forward in time? Do you age or get younger, or do you keep the status quo?" 
  "I'm not an authority on time, Tex. Do you know anyone who traveled in time?" 
  Harrigan shrugged aside my question. "That was the thing I couldn't get out of Vanderkamp, either. He presumed to know everything else." 
  "Vanderkamp?" 
  "He was another of those strange people a reporter always runs into. Lived in New York—downtown, near the Bowery. Man of about forty, I'd say, but a little on the old-fashioned side. Dutch background, and hipped on the subject of New Amsterdam, which, in case you don't know, was the original name of New York City." 
  "Don't mind my interrupting," I cut in. "But I'm not quite straight on what Vanderkamp has to do with time as dimension." 
  "Oh, he was touched on the subject. He claimed to travel in it. The fact is, he invented a time-traveling machine."
