Do artista plástico ganhador do British Book of the Year, do Roald Dahl Funny Prize e da Kate Greenaway Medal O ousado e artístico trabalho de Oliver Jeffers parte do princípio: do início de todas as coisas que conhecemos e às quais somos familiares; do momento mais remoto do agora. De lá, leva o leitor em uma jornada até aqui, o nosso presente, e oferece questionamentos desafiadores: para onde estamos indo? De onde viemos? Quando e por que tudo isso começou? Como podemos pensar em um futuro da humanidade além dos avanços tecnológicos? E qual é a essência da humanidade que vale a pena mantermos para esse futuro? Com ilustrações de tirar o fôlego, a ponderação de Jefferes sobre o estado do mundo é profunda, emocionante e poderosa. Esta narrativa apresenta uma perspectiva tocante que, unida ao traço singular do autor, provoca uma importante reflexão sobre a natureza da existência e a importância de pensarmos sobre a nossa origem — e o nosso destino, seja ele qual for.

In his first illustrated book created specifically for readers of all ages, Oliver Jeffers shares a very brief history of humanity and shares his dreams for where we go from here. With his bold, iconic art, Oliver Jeffers follows the human path from the dawn of our species through history, sharing profound, sometimes poignant, commentary on our present, and then offers a challenge: Where do we go from here? How can we create new stories and new systems that allow all of humanity to flourish? How can we journey toward a collective and robust future? Illustrated in his world-renowned art style, Oliver Jeffers’ reflection on the patterns that have led us to where we are today, the stories we have governed ourselves by, and those we might adopt going forward, is insightful, moving, and powerful. A must-have for anyone who wants the next generation to inherit a world to be proud of--and a perfect gift to share with those you care about.
