Within the space of the book is hope, and reflection, and the assurance that we will all be close again.Įlla Frances Sanders is an internationally-bestselling author and illustrator of three books. In a soft and beautiful way, it reminds us that the small things we as individuals choose to ascribe value to are valuable, that the meaning that makes up our days and weeks and months, if taken away, can leave us feeling directionless and full of emotional aches. It allows a person reading it some space to consider their own missing, the chances left untaken and the stones left unturned. The carefree, now-historical moments of before that we dream about: the crossing of paths, the potential which was held within each day, the beautiful accidents of being alive that are not currently able to happen in the same ways. Moments, interactions, experiences, collisions, events, places, serendipities-the things that we all, as a collective and in-waiting humanity, are longing to fold back into.
