2030 by Amy Zuckerman and James Daly is the coolest book I’ve seen in awhile. It’s about “a day in the life of tomorrow’s kids.” It’s awesome for 9-12 year olds, especially.
This book is thought provoking because it explores so many interesting ideas as to what the not-too-distant future might be like. It shows us communicating with each other via orbs, composting our food scraps, and jumping on a “smart” trampoline.
After each member of my family read it, 2030 brought on a variety of discussion as to which of the futuristic predictions we thought were a good idea and which we thought were unnecessary. As a person who is concerned about our planet, it was interesting to see some of the concepts that might help us combat climate change.
I was able to find a copy at my library. Have you read this book yet?

Those houses look interesting.
Hi Michelle,
Definitely! The houses are part of what the book talks about as “eco villages.” Thanks for stopping by!
