This might be one of the coolest and unique nonfiction children’s’ books I have seen in a long time.
My daughter has been asking about the future lately and dreaming up what cool things she’ll have access to, that I didn’t growing up. This book was such a fun resource to explore with her in this stage of life!
Broken into several topical sections, the book gives you several fictionalized dream stories of what the future COULD be like based on real life inventions and technology we have or had in the past.
Many were enlightening and new to me, and living in a time of great uncertainty and when the future of our earth seems bleak, this book was a helpful reminder that we have so many tools at our disposal to make like on earth better for us and other living creatures!
