Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Sark's first book, A CREATIVE COMPANION, has charmed all who come across it, so we were delighted when she came back to us with this collection of 43 ways to awaken your creative self—including "invite someone dangerous to tea," "take lots of naps," and "make friends with freedom and uncertainty." As the author puts it, "This book is food for your soul, and a bubble bath for your spirit. It is a guide to keeping your creativity alive, and I wrote it for you. In the SARK tradition, it was written while in pajamas, and in between naps. My first job was at age four as the wake-up fairy in kindergarten. I believe in waking up creative spirits." This colorful work also includes the complete text of her popular pieces, "CATS ARE ANGELS WITH FUR" and "DOGS ARE MIRACLES WITH PAWS."


About the Author

SARK is a writer, artist, and acclaimed teacher on the subject of creativity. She was featured on the PBS series Women of Wisdom and Power. She is a recovering procrastinator and perfectionist who practices what she teaches. SARK lives in a Magic Cottage in San Francisco with her cat, Jupiter.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship, February 19, 1998
By A Customer
While in college about 4 years ago I visited the campus bookstore quite a lot. One day I came across this splash of jubulant color peeking at me between just plain books. I picked up the "Sandwich" and flipped through it and thought WOW. Never before had I seen anything like it- The colors, the spirit, the nourishing effect it had. I read it all the day I bought it, and was filled with renewed energy and zest for the little things. This book made me want to go out and have an adventure- to taste and explore life. Over the next few months (And years!) I searched for more of her books and was overjoyed to find every one that I did. All of Sarks books have this effect- I never get tired of her words, thoughts and humor. The books (Creative Companion, Inspiration Sandwich, Living Juicy, Journal and Play Book, and Succulent Wild Woman) sit on my prized book bookshelf in my bedroom, and I refer to them often. Sarks books are not a one-time read- they are referance for the spirit!

5.0 out of 5 stars "This book is a Miracle itself!", October 9, 1999
By A Customer
I got this book while on a cruise in the islands from Puerto rico. It was on the ship they had a small shop and Sarks books were displayed on a shelf. The wonderful colors seemed to have been pulling because I stood there for possibly a half an hour reading through all of them. I started with this book, as a first for my Sark collection. I read it over and over, the wild creativity and imagination she has brings me to new heights! Now I have miracle walks too! I turned my room into my own Magic Cottage, a place to getaway use my creative self, and read Sarks books! I hope to meet her one day and see how beautiful her home, and herself really are! From her awesome stories of constant travel and dangerous tea party's. I know she is my best friend who I never knew, (Or will know!) I am 12 years old, and I am started a new creative life, thank you so much sark! We love you, and your mind!

5.0 out of 5 stars Buying SARK? Buy this., June 2, 2005
By Kate (Australia) - See all my reviews
I have been a huge SARK fan for as long as I can remember, and have read and enjoyed all her marvellously and divinely coloured works.

So, as much as I am inspired by her and the work she has done, I honestly believe that her earlier works are much more relevant, beautiful and divine than her latter ones. While I would absolutely recommend that everyone purchase a copy of 'Eat Mangoes Naked' and other titles, I can't help but tire slightly of her SARK font, when her actual writing was one of the most delicious parts about her books. I guess I feel that the true beauty of SARK is so much more accessible within her earlier works, such as this, whereas the latter ones are undoubtedly that much more commericalised and repetitive.

Along with 'Living Juicy', I believe that this is the best of the lot. The stories are absolutely divine and inspiring, the drawings and colours vulnerable and lovable.

What a truly life-changing find this work is.
