A lovely rendition of this timeless piece. Each line gets a double-page spread. The illustrations, by Emil Antonucci, are wonderful. Simple almost primitive blue line drawings, but so expressive.

This is a book of the famous poem by Max Ehrmann. It's a poem that rings as true today as it did in 1927. An inspirational poem that has gone mainstream. In this short book version it's linked to photos by Marc Tauss. It's a nice book if you collect poetry or photography.
