It's weird and may not always cooperate, but Life's beauty becomes apparent when it's embraced for all of its quirks. This story is filled with tongue-in-cheek idioms that will appeal to readers of all ages and will impart deeper wisdoms about life's many milestones.

Ame Dyckman's clever text combines with Cori Doerrfeld's sweet illustrations to create the perfect gift for readers who are starting school, moving, graduating, or imparting on any new phase of life.
