When I was five I had a little children's book about the world. On the cover was little children in thier native dress holding hands circling around the whole world (read: the eskimo child was the size of freaking Europe!)
I was convinced the world was super tiny and Africa was a mere two houses away from our place. I would stand on our back patio listening to pigeons "coo-cooing" thinking I was in fact hearing tribal singing.
