All over the world, baby animals ask their parents who the world is for. In a house in a city, a boy asks his father the same question and receives the same reply: the world is for him.

A father similarly explains to his young son, in this lyrical and visually stunning meditation on Earth and its creatures. The Chinese edition of 'Who is the World for?' includes the perspectives of a bear, lion, hippo, whale, rabbit, owl, and a baby boy, presented in 29 pages with Chinese phonics and hardcover.
