Hope for the Flowers

Recommended by Matt Liebmann, Peabody Professor of American Archaeology and Ethnology

It was recommended to me by a cousin a while ago, and I find myself rereading it a lot. It’s a very short book and has illustrations, but I find that as I move through life, revisiting it helps me find new lessons in it every time I read it.

It’s kind of an allegory for how to live your life. I’m not a big rereader, but because this one is so short I can get through it in a quick amount of time, and it’s so bright and yellow I just find myself occasionally pulling it down. It causes me to step back and reflect.
