There are many kinds of grace in this little book . . . [there is an] underlying kindness that runs throughout. --Rebecca Solnit, author of HOPE IN THE DARK Accessible, profound, moving, and beautiful. A unique and much-needed addition to the literature about death and dying. --Louise Aronson, MD, author of ELDERHOOD Like singing bowls whose sounds reverberate through us, MacNaughton's drawings resonate emotional tones of the tender moments she deftly portrays. --Ira Byock, MD, author of DYING WELL With keen eyes, a skillful hand, and a warm heart, MacNaughton has created a teaching manual on how to say goodbye . . . a gift to all of us as we face death in its many forms. --Mary Pipher, author of WOMEN ROWING NORTH This beautiful little book is luminous and dark, heavy and light, heartbreaking and glorious. It's a gift to see the world through Wendy MacNaughton's eyes. --Lucy Kalanithi, MD, Clinical Associate Professor, Stanford University School of Medicine A modern legend in the field of American illustration...[her] illustrations skitter across the page with delicate intensity, like fresh fuzzy roots meeting soil. --Saveur We've been enamored of artist-graphic journalist Wendy MacNaughton's breezy-yet-hyper-perceptive sketches, humanizing portraits, and urban tableaus for years now... the SF resident [is] something like our illustrator laureate. --San Francisco Bay Guardian [MacNaughton is] like a modern-day Margaret Mead armed with ink and watercolor, not a critic or commentator but an observer and amplifier of voice. --BrainPickings
