"Sometimes it feels as if all of life is made up of longing."
A soulful illustrated meditation on our search for meaning.
The Snail with the Right Heart
Maria Popova (author) & Pin Zhu (illustrator)
A love story, a science story, a story about the poetry of existence, about time and chance, genetics and gender, life and death, evolution and infinity, about not mistaking difference for defect, about recognizing diversity as nature’s wellspring of resilience and beauty.

A crowd. Sometimes, what i like to do is to take blobs on the paper, random abandoned sketches or doodles and to make a drawing out of them. The red lion, so reminiscent of the Enchanted Lion came first, all other came after. On this note, the Enchanted Lion publishing has so of the most magical picture books out there.
