Begin Again

A powerful, thoughtful and bold comment on humanity and its future from one of today's most thought-provoking artists.

In his first book created specifically with a wider audience in mind, Oliver Jeffers shares a history of humanity and his dreams for its future. Where are we going?

Oliver Jeffers starts at the dawn of humankind following people on their journey from then until now, and then offers the reader a challenge: where do we go from here? How can we think about the future of the human race more than our individual lives? How can we save ourselves? How can we change our story?

In instantly recognisable style, Oliver Jeffers's exploration of the state of the world today is insightful, moving and powerful. A must-have for every forward-thinking person who wants the next generation to inherit a world to be proud of.

In this award-winning children's book, Jeffers masterfully intertwines themes of science, technology, and nature, challenging young minds to ponder the future of humanity. His unique blend of social and environmental consciousness, coupled with a deep exploration of emotions and values, makes this a top pick for juvenile readers.

For fans of Sam Winston (A Child of Books), Jon Klassen (The Three Billy Goats Gruff), Corinna Luyken (The Tree in Me), Jim Field (Oi Dinosaurs!), and David Litchfield (The Bear, the Piano and Little Bear's Concert).
