It's definitely a cute little read to have sitting handy on the bookcase for if you ever need a pick-me-up.

this is very cute and I suggest everyone read it. it is very meaning full, even if it only took me around 5-10 minutes to read. lovely :)

Loooooooooooooooooooooove Emma!
You know, I have a hard time with triumphant books about lessons on life and love and blah blah blah, but this book is awesome. The illustrations really make it. It would be great to be better at drawing, huh? Yeah, I should work on that. If I were to get a tattoo, I would seriously consider Emma Magenta's illustration of an old man doing the moonwalk as potential source material.
spectacular and unique as is everything by emma magenta.
