Inspiring illustrator Emily McDowell is coming out with a very important book
Right now, more than ever, many of us are searching to carve out small spaces of light and hope while still keeping up our responsibilities as employees, lovers, family members, and humans in the world. Luckily for that end, the illustrator Emily McDowell is coming out with a book that wrestles with the universal (yet specific) issues of tragedy, empathy, and how to cope when we have no words.
For those unfamiliar with her work, the artist and outspoken cancer survivor, Emily, has previously released a line of greeting cards called Empathy Cards that were written to speak to the space of wordlessness we feel when faced with death or illness.
But now, in January 2017, Emily will be releasing her book “There Is No Good Card For This” and it’s hard to think of a better time for such a book to be released.
How inspiring is this? We love it already!
