I am not ashamed to admit it - I adore Maira Kalman. This is her best book as well as her illustrated Elements of Style. These are my go to books for presents.

Kalman shares her illustrated journal musings of May 2006 through April 2007 with an observational, direct, and honest charm. This book is heavy -- literally. Printed on slick heavy paper and filled with Kalman's beautiful full-color paintings and hand-scripted reflections, it is a visual delight. It is also charmingly funny. And it combines the unending with the mundane in a whimsical manner that is quite moving. I love this book.

I can't believe I didn't review this previously, as I've reviewed other books of Maira's and this may well be my favorite - certainly it was my first of her adult books. When I opened it in the bookstore I was so enchanted I bought it without even checking the price! I only knew I couldn't wait to take it home and I did and then I bought 3 more and have given them to special people who deserve them. Not everyone you know deserves Maira Kalman, certainly not everyone I know does, but those who do will know you love them when you hand over this delightful book. I've said it before, I'll say it again, it's like having a wonderful friend to share thoughts and points of view and oddments that no one else but you and and she will ever notice. I don't know how someone creates work that appeals to so many, and yet feels so personal to each of us. A true treasure, long may she paint and stitch and see and collect, and love and share all of those things with the rest of us.
