One author who is a common favourite between me and my child is historian Yuval Noah Harari. It took a while to take in the amount of wisdom he passed on in the best-selling Sapiens! And when I heard the graphic history version of Sapiens for children was out, I had to gift my daughter a copy. She has devoured the book with such interest, not before asking a gazillion questions at each page, and getting to truly understand what she was reading! That’s the power of a good book.
And to all Yuval Noah Harari fans, we have fabulous news that we can’t wait to share with you! The critically-acclaimed historian and bestselling author will be coming to India, to aamchi Mumbai! And we can’t wait to know more about what went into writing his new book, “Unstoppable Us: How Humans Took Over The World” for young readers.
About The Event:
Mansi Zaveri, Founder and CEO of Kidsstoppress.com, and a bonafide book lover will be moderating a talk with author Yuval Noah Harari on human evolution and the power of storytelling and why it is important to know where humans come from and therefore what makes them the most powerful animal on the planet.
Mansi would be talking to him, in this exclusive event by Crossword Bookstores about how he chose storytelling as a medium to educate adults and children alike on the importance of evolution and history. This would be followed by an interactive Q & A session with the audience- yes! You can get a chance to ask Mr Harari a question! And you can take home author-signed copies of the book Unstoppable Us to read with your children, who will love it, for sure!
