Mommy bear, tell me, is the world big? 

What if we one day see it together? 

I want to know about cities, deserts, and seas. 

About jungles where the tapir lives, about tigers and elephants. 

— Son, the world is very big, almost like the Milky Way. 

Of course, we will go around it someday. 

But now, my son, put on your pajamas 

Wash your face and hands with soap and drink tea quickly.

About the author: In 2008, the author was awarded the national prize in the field of children's and youth literature in Orla (Denmark) for the book «Mischievous Poems» in the category «Best Picture Book». The publication in Russian was made with the support of the Danish Arts Foundation.

Y. M. Strid has a gift for remarkably capturing a child's worldview; he literally immerses himself in his lyrical hero-child (the psychological traits, understanding very serious «adult» things on a child's level).
