Questlove debuting his first children’s book next week

Questlove‘s expanding his book collection with the release of his very first children’s book. The Rhythm of Time comes out April 18, in partnership with G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers.

The book, co-authored by S.A. Cosby, is written for readers between the ages of 8 and 12. It follows Kasia and Rahim, two slightly nerdy Black teens from Philadelphia, who “travel back through time, inadvertently rewriting the future.”

“The Rhythm of Time is a fast-paced story of how the best of intentions can unravel into the most dire of circumstances — and how those problems can only be solved through the power of family and friendship,” a press release reads. It’s set to be the first in a three-book series.

The Rhythm of Time will mark the latest book from Quest, who has co-authored several books, including bestsellers Mo’ Meta Blues, Creative Quest and Music is History. He recently launched his own book imprint, AUWA Books, which will publish a range of eclectic nonfiction and fiction stories.
