What is imagination? Most of us think of it as playing pretend or
what happens when we're dreaming, but imagination takes us to
worlds and galaxies beyond that. Imagination helps us travel
between time, space, and reality. It gives us the power to dream up
the world in our own vision and encourages us to think of not just
what is, but what could be. Imagination is a superpower that
unlocks endless possibilities, and all by asking one simple
question: what if? This is one conversation that's never too early
to start, and this book was written to be an introduction for kids
on the topic. Meet A Kids Co., a new kind of media company with a
collection of beautifully designed books that kickstart
challenging, empowering, and important conversations for kids and
their grownups. Learn more about us at akidsco.com.
America today is teetering on the edge of the alarming vision
presented in LeVar Burton's debut novel, written more than two
decades ago . . . In 2012, the first African American president is
assassinated by a white extremist-just four days after he is
elected. The horrific tragedy leads to riots, financial collapse,
and ultimately, a full-on civil war. In its aftermath, millions are
left homeless as famine and disease spread throughout the country.
But from Chicago, a mysterious voice cries out . . . To Leon Crane,
a former NASA scientist now struggling to survive on the streets,
the pleas he hears remind him of the wife he could not save-and
offer him a chance at redemption. To Jacob Fire Cloud, a revered
Lakota medicine man, the voice is a sign that the White Buffalo
Woman has returned to unite all the races in peace and prosperity.
And to little Amy Ladue, the cries are those of her mother, who
disappeared during the devastating St. Louis earthquake-and who
must still be alive. These three strangers will be drawn together
to rescue someone they have never met, a woman who holds the key to
a new future for humanity-one remarkably brimming with hope. "LeVar
Burton brings a strong new voice to science fiction with this
powerful, even disturbing, novel." -Ben Bova, New York
Times-bestselling author "An amazingly good first novel." -Rocky
Mountain News "I highly recommend this book!" -Whoopi Goldberg

The United States of 2019 is a very different place. Economic
depression, an enormous earthquake, and the assassination of a
black President-elect have turned the country into a war zone. Four
people, each as different and troubled as the next, are the
nation's last hope. But can they overcome the devastation and build
a new world?
"This tale of people acting as bad as they want to be vs. others
who just want to do the right thing marks an entertaining debut."
-- Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Burton's writing is solid and poised." -- Denver Post
"Burton is only in the initial stage of his writing career...but he
has already mastered the art of keeping readers turning pages." --
Booklist
"Epic, along the lines of The Stand; spiritual, along the lines of
The Seven Arrows. LeVar Burton created a world in which devastation
leads to the possibility of redemption. I highly recommend this
book " -- Whoopi Goldberg
