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.
