A set of dice. A grandmother’s ring. The key to an old house. A child gathers keepsakes from everyday life, seals them in a jar, and buries them underground. A gift from the present day . . . to people of the future . . . that tells a story about the past. A time capsule.

Lauren Redniss’s first book for children will get readers thinking about the times they are living through and how their world will be remembered in ages to come. It will spark their imaginations, inviting children to envision the future and to make their own time capsules.
