We’re very happy to share the news (and cover) for Lavie Tidhar‘s next book for younger readers: THE CHILDREN’S BOOK OF THE FUTURE. Co-authored with Richard Watson, and illustrated by Cinthya Alvarez, it’s due to be published by DK on June 25th. Here’s the synopsis…

A Children’s Book of the Future is a narrative nonfiction book that will offer an inclusive and hopeful vision of the future, with a diverse, multicultural approach that will appeal to children of all backgrounds and further appeal to the foreign market audience.

The book will consist of approximately eighteen chapters that each take inspiration from current scientific research. They’ll present engaging, optimistic futures that could result from the real-world science, with insets delving into how that science works. The book will be highly illustrated throughout to make complex ideas more accessible, as well as to better depict the wondrous futures that could be ahead. There will also be a preface, afterword and an activities section.

Some of the diverse visions explored include underwater cities; the solar system and space travel; green technologies and sustainability; robots and artificial intelligence; the future of cities; and much more!

In short, the book sets out to reclaim the future for current and future generations of children.
