A quiet little rhyming story, with the rhythm of This is the House That Jack Built that explains a boy's spot in the big universe as the boy prepares for bed.

“This is my country, with highlands and plains,
with farmlands and cities and highways and trains.

It sits on my continent, far and wide,
which kisses an ocean on either side,
on half the Earth,
which circles the sun,
which hides its face when the day is done,
while stars glow bright
and light up the night.”
