Matthew Cordell.
Tender affirmations are offered in this book about staying grounded while stepping out to experience life. Readers are reminded that some truths are "what you will always know," while other kinds will be gained as one encounters "delicious and dark things" in life. The inspirational text may fall flat with kids, but the pen-and-ink with watercolor illustrations have plenty of kid-appeal.
