Wisdom for Grown-Ups from Children’s Books

This title will surely appeal to those who remember their childhood reads with loving nostalgia. The inspiration is still there as a gift.
The quotes are organized into five sections. These include How to Be Good in the World (for example, kindness); How to Be Joyful in the World (for example, indulgence); How to Be Strong in the World (for example, fear); How to Be at Home in the World (for example, nature); and How to Believe in the World (for example, perseverance). Each short quote left me with something to think about. Note that throughout readers find illustrations as well.
Start with the introduction by R.J. Palacio and then the one by the compilers/editors, and next go where your imagination takes you. Readers will, I think, leave feeling better.
This book would make a most delightful gift.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Algonquin Books for this title. All opinions are my own.
