Robert Macfarlane’s new children’s book, The World To Come, is one of two children’s titles to be shortlisted for Foyles Book of the Year 2024.

The World to Come is the first book to be borne out of the creative collaboration between Robert Macfarlane and Johnny Flynn. The lyrics of their song of the same title has been transformed into a wonderful read-aloud text that sings with a love of words and rhythm with stunning illustrations by Emily Sutton to create a picture book filled with hope and wonder.

The award features one fiction, one non-fiction and one children’s and young adult book. These three winning titles will be announced on 21st November.
