“Yuval has revolutionized how we think about ourselves and our place in the world, and Canadian readers have responded to his books for adults with incredible passion and enthusiasm,” said Publisher of Tundra Book Group Tara Walker. Unstoppable Us has one key message for kids: The world in which we live didn’t have to be the way it is. Every question from why we have nightmares and why we like sugar, to why people believe in gods and why there are so many wars. It’s a fun book – I hope young readers won’t want to put it down and it’s also dead serious – aiming to preoccupy you with the questions it raises. It tells the history of humans since the time we were just apes living in the savannah, until the time we almost became god-like by flying in airplanes and spaceships. Said Harari, “Unstoppable Us is the book that I wanted to read as a kid. UNSTOPPABLE US is packed with full-color illustrations by Ricard Zaplana Ruiz that bring to life Harari’s dynamic, unputdownable writing.

From learning to make fire and using the stars as guides, to inventing stories and cooperating in huge numbers, the secrets of how our ancestors evolved millions of years ago will be uncovered, revealing the superpowers that brought us to ‘now,’ and how they were used to make us invincible…but also insatiable. And how – through triumph and growth, but also relentless, destructive voracity – they became truly unstoppable. Yuval Noah Harari brings his talents to the page for young readers for the very first time to share how humans eventually came to dominate Earth.
