Format:Hardcover
This book is a joy to read and to look at. It is wise and life-affirming, funny and moving, honest and deep. It depicts a year in the life of author Maira Kelman through illustrations, photos, notes and very personal musings about life's sorrows and endless joys.
Format:Paperback
This book was saved for me by my local librarian and, when I had to return it, I missed it so much I had to buy it.
I had seen Kalman's illustrations from time to time but not a thematic collection of them which is what makes this so special. She combines photographs, text, and paintings to record a whimsical, affectionate observation of the everyday and a real appreciation of the things we so often miss in our rushed lives.
"Perhaps Kalman's greatest gift is that her work embodies both the ironic and the earnest at their best, at the place where they come together and create lyrical, personal truth. She is such a magnanimous artist. She invites us, welcomes us, into the most intimate, unprotected place of all: daydreams."

Irresistable indeed!

Maira Kalman's book is a one-off, unlike anything I have come across and studded throughout without her distinctive and beautiful illustrations and a narrative that is both mad and sane in equal measure (just as we all are!).
The production is stunning and everything about this book makes it a joy to behold and lose yourself in.
Highly recommended for anyone who takes real pleasure in a book's physicality but also enjoys offbeat, quirky but genuinely wise women. Maira Kalman is all of these things
