“Hope separates us from other animals, as it requires imagination about an unwritten future.”
“Science, technology, engineering and math are how we do things. Art is why we do things.”

Beautiful and reflective. A children's book that speaks to all generations (broad in so many ways.) Who are we, where are going, who is "us" and "them?" Sparse yet so filling 5/5 stars

No one does beautifully illustrated, thought-provoking, solemn-yet-hopeful meditations on the human condition quite as masterfully as Oliver Jeffers: where are we now, where did we come from, and where are we going...or rather, where do we want to go? With artwork as deep and moving as the prose, you'll want to sit with this one for a while.

A beautiful, simple look at a huge topic. Loved it, love Oliver Jeffers’ work as a whole. This didn’t disappoint.

I really like everything I've read by Oliver Jeffers. I think he has something incredibly important to say to us all in this particular moment we find ourselves in. Begin Again is Jeffers first picture book for adults and it includes a brilliant essay at the end about Jeffers impulse for writing the book, his life growing up amidst the conflict in Northern Ireland, and his desire to tell a better story for humanity beyond the ones that divide us. The art is also lovely.
