What the Jury said:
This very clever picturebook combines numbers and pictures with infographic language to impart a series of pointedly accurate statistics about things happening in the world every second of the day – facts that show up telling contrasts. The contradictions evidenced by the pictures are at times humorous and often shocking, prompting the reader to think of their implications. We learn, for example, of the salary difference between an athlete and a CEO (3 dollars as against 48) or the money spent for humanitarian aid and weapons (410 dollars compared with 5,500) or the number of kilometres cars have been driven (450,000, the distance between the Earth and the moon). |
