The Toa of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff - read at a formative time and always recenters me though I am not at all a toaist in any way The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy - I was gifted this by a beloved for graduation and truly always return to it when I feel lower than nothing. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - little needs to be said, read this often to keep on living.

As the story goes, I was 15 and wanting to die when I stumbled upon the Tao Te Ching in my father‘s library. It saved me. it took me out of my suffering and made me realize that I had experienced so little of the world. I clung to this book and carried it everywhere. I used to post pages as my MySpace bulletins 😭 Eventually the light returned, and although I have wanted to die many times after that, I learned from that experience that it will always pass. And when my father died, this is the one thing of his that I asked for.

Specifically! "Happy Birthday To You!" "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" "Seuss-isms" These books are such a soft, tender delight that suffuses you with warmth and a lightheartedness that is so sorely appreciated at any time . . . But especially these darker months? Funnily enough, the closer we get to the holidays the more stressful things become. So taking a minute to read some simple, lovely literature with deeply heartfelt messages is a great method of self-care. Suess-isms especially, it's a compilation of the best lines and messages from most of Dr. Seuss books and it really is a wonderful coffee table book.
