Dear World, How Are You?

Dear World, How Are You?

Summary

When Toby Little was five years old, he decided to write to someone in every country in the world.

With the help of his mum, Toby started handwriting and posting letters to everyone from research scientists in Antarctica to game-keepers in Chad and even the Pope. Not only did Toby achieve his goal but the world wrote back.

Dear World, How Are You? is a collection of the most fascinating and heart-warming letters he sent and received. It shows that the world is only as big as your imagination and is full of potential friends, waiting to be discovered, no matter where you live.

When five-year-old Toby asked his mum, "Can I write a letter to the world?" she never imagined that a little summer project would turn into a two-year challenge, leading to news stories across the globe. Toby has now written, with the help of his mum, Sabine, letters to all 193 countries, and all the US states. Toby loves learning at school and is keen on archaeology, history and, particularly, fossils.
