Follow this family of six on their passageextraordinary, hilarious and heartbreakingly poignantfrom Bright Lights (of New York City) to the Northern Lights (of Norway) to the City of Light (Paris) to the speed-of-light of the Autobahn (in Munich). Continue deep into the tropics of Southeast Asia (Singapore) and end your voyage in the heights of the Swiss Alps (Geneva).

As varied as the topographythe craggy fjords, the meandering Seine, the black forests, the muggy tropics, the soaring Alpsthis multicultural tale traverses everything from giving birth in a chteau in Versailles to living on an island in a fjord. From singing jazz on national Norwegian T.V. to judging an Indonesian beauty contest. From navigating the labyrinth of French bureaucracy and the traffic patterns of Singapore to sitting around a big pine table where the whole family learns languages, cultures, cuisineswhere they, in short, learn to love this complex and diverse world and, most importantly, each other.
