Description

The book is a collection of Illustrated poems meant to be accessible in a way poetry often is not, telling stories about life's experiences in a manner that captures imagination. There are stories from every stage of life, evoking nostalgia about times gone by, our hopes and dreams, our doubts and fears, those we have loved and lost, and the yearning for true meaning. The illustrations bring the stories alive and, together with the poems, the book weaves a simple and relateable tale of our shared journey along life's pathways, with its unexpected twists and turns, in which joy and sadness are twin companions.
