Questlove will publish his debut children’s book, THE RHYTHM OF TIME!

Academy Award winner and New York Times bestselling author Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s kids’ novel, THE RHYTHM OF TIME, is scheduled to release on Tuesday, April 18, with G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers.

Co-authored by illustrious writer S. A. Cosby and aimed at readers ages 8-12, this gripping and exhilarating series opener, set in Questlove’s hometown of Philadelphia, follows Kasia and Rahim, two slightly-nerdy Black teens, as they travel back through time, inadvertently rewriting the future.

Questlove to Debut Children’s Book THE RHYTHM OF TIME

Rich with pop-culture references but rooted in its portrait of its two unlikely heroes, THE RHYTHM OF TIME is a fast-paced story of how the best of intentions can unravel into the direst of circumstances—and how those problems can only be solved through the power of family and friendship.

Stacey Barney, Associate Publisher at Penguin Young Readers acquired world rights in a three-book deal with Marc Gerald at Europa Content and Alexis Rosenzweig representing Questlove, and Josh Getzler at Hannigan Getzler Literary representing S.A. Cosby.
