Begin Again
Begin Again | Oliver Jeffers
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.

I adore Oliver Jeffers‘ picture books for children so I jumped on this adult project, which is essentially just like his children‘s books. The best part about the book is the essay at the end (which is what actual makes this a work for adults) about human connection which Jeffers urges us to use to come together to overcome racism, climate change and overall hate. I liked the message and the images were lovely but found it a bit lacking.
