Everything in Motion

How we got from A to B and how things get to us

People are constantly on the move: walking, biking, skating. To help them get from A to B faster, they have developed vehicles. From carriages, rafts and gliders to e-cars and spaceships. We can also move around virtually, video chat or take a tour of Mars. Increasingly, we have things delivered – which is convenient, but pollutes the environment.
A multi-layered non-fiction book for active children and families who wonder: What will our cities look like in the future, how will we meet friends, get to school and travel the world?
