Publisher's Synopsis
Oliver Jeffers says: Begin Again has been one of the most important projects I’ve worked on lately. Through vibrant colors and poignant words, the book builds on my artistic exploration of humankind’s impact on itself and our planet. It follows humanity from the origins of our journey through history. It offers commentary on our present. And, it asks the big question: Where do we go from here?
A powerful, thoughtful and bold comment on humanity and its future from one of today’s most thought-provoking artists.
In his first picture 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?
With his bold, exquisite artwork, 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?
Illustrated in his 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.
