A heartwarming collection of 52 stories—one for each week of the year—to make you feel a little bit better about the world we live in, accompanied by unique illustrations made from recycled fabric.
 
Are you one of those people who feel that over the last few years we have had more than our fair share of bad news? This fabulous gift book is a perfect antidote to bad news stories. Filled with happiness and positivity, it celebrates the good things in life, and puts a smile on any reader’s face!
 
Fans of positive news shows like Some Good News with John Krasinski will find similarly cheerful and comforting content in this book, while readers of all ages who enjoyed the unique fabric art illustrations of Salley Mavor or the Cozy Classics series will appreciate Martin Smatana’s art made from upcycled scraps of cloth.
