The joy a child finds in making their own time capsule, filled with
everyday objects, comes alive in this inviting picture book from the
MacArthur "genius grant" recipient and award-winning author of
Radioactive.
A set of dice. A grandmother's ring. The key to an old house. A child
gathers keepsakes from everyday life, seals them in a jar, and buries
them underground. A gift from the present day...to people of the
future...that tells a story about the past. A time capsule.
The first book for children by renowned artist and writer Lauren Redniss
will get readers thinking about the times they are living through and
how their world will be remembered in ages to come. It will also spark
creativity, inviting young people to envision the future and to make
their own time capsules.
Extra pages in the back include tips on making your own time capsule and
facts about different kinds of time capsules in history.
