Summary

Once Upon the Future is an anthology of fictional stories written for children age 7-12 inspired by the research of six sustainability scientists. Each story is sprinkled with humor and magical realism, enlivened with beautiful illustrations, and complemented by educational resources. Using simple yet vibrant language, the stories convey insights on circular food economies, rural development and cultural textile traditions, forest commoning practices, biodiversity conservation and regeneration, youth in urban governance, and the importance of values and imagination for sustainability leadership.

    Sometimes we must do things we don't want to, even if they frighten us.
    
    Royal Blue is a royal racing pigeon from a long line of champions. Every morning he wakes in his comfortable loft at Sandringham House, eats the very best seeds and spends the day training with his best friend to be the fastest and strongest pigeon in Britain.
    
    But there's a war going on, and things are changing. Then one day the King himself comes to the loft and chooses Blue for a very special assignment.
    
    As Blue goes on missions, helping with rescues, carrying secret messages and facing dangers he never could have imagined, one thing will become clear: never underestimate a pigeon.

    The Archduke Conference has come to an end, but Ehrenfest’s archducal family is still reeling from the fresh troubles it brought. As if a surprising ceremony and the Sovereign temple’s schemes weren’t unusual enough, Rozemyne manages to deliver the killing blow with a truly unexpected announcement:
     
    “My current adoption is being nullified, and the king will take me as his daughter instead.”
     
    Chaos ensues, but what is done cannot be undone. Rozemyne has one year before she must depart for the Sovereignty—one year to tie up so many loose ends—but she needs not act alone. “Stay true to yourself, and continue to forge your own way,” her noble mother Elvira tells her, watching affectionately as her daughter prepares for the road ahead.
     
    There’s so much to be done in the newest volume of this biblio-fantasy! Those in Rozemyne’s service have an important choice to make, and their decisions will open doors for the future.
     
    Includes two short stories and four-panel manga by You Shiina.
