Evolve: a children's book for adults - 2674

EVOLVE, A Children’s Book For Adults, is a picture book that takes readers on a playful philosophical journey that explores the age-old question: Who am I? The book narrates three foundational stories from the book of Genesis, subtly inflecting them with existential motifs that inquire where we come from and where we might choose to go. A liberating message is proposed: our deepest purpose is to be free, co-creative participants of the unfolding universe. The biblical stories of Adam, Cain, and Abraham are represented as successive stations along a journey to the Self, that invite us to invent and celebrate our lives. EVOLVE interlaces words with pictures that plummet to the core, which words or pictures alone cannot convey. As with every great children's picture-book, EVOLVE can be explored again and again, yet, it is in every way a book for adults that challenges our very idea about what it means to be an adult. EVOLVE is like a great pop song, seemingly wholly new with a message we have always known. It is meant to be shared quietly and meditated over with a loved one. With a lighthearted touch, it invites the reader to be serious with serious matters. It is a book that heals. It is an invitation, an experience.
