One of the loveliest and kindest books I’ve read this year.

This is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel all about wisdom and kindness. It centers empathy and compassion for yourself and others. I can see myself turning to this book in my work with coaching and therapy clients as well as sending copies to all of my nearest and dearest. It’s like picking up a warm hug. Highly recommend.
