    A blogger, illustrator, and doodle artist--Puty Puar- shares her simplest yet deepest thought about life. What is happiness? Where do we find it? She tried to picture it; that happiness isn't a matter of size; big or small, near or far, alone or together. The book offers a bunch of inspirations and some sources of happiness: - Giving a sincere comment and accepting one. - Unexpectedly finding money forgotten inside your pocket. - Getting home on time, just before the rain started.- Deleting messages you thought you'll never let go. Eventually, happiness is indeed inside our heart. And home is wherever out heart is, and happiness is homemade. You may take pictures of this book and share to the others if you want to.

Simply put, precepts are principles to live by, and Mr. Browne has compiled 365 of them—one for each day of the year—drawn from popular songs to children’s books to inscriptions on Egyptian tombstones to fortune cookies. His selections celebrate kindness, hopefulness, the goodness of human beings, the strength of people’s hearts, and the power of people’s wills. Interspersed with the precepts are letters and emails from characters who appeared in Wonder. Readers hear from Summer, Jack, Charlotte, Julian, and Amos.   There’s something for everyone here, with words of wisdom from such noteworthy people as Anne Frank, Martin Luther King Jr., Confucius, Goethe, Sappho—and over 100 readers of Wonder who sent R. J. Palacio their own precepts.

With more than thirty-five full-color illustrations, Love for Imperfect Things will appeal to both your eyes and your heart, offering you comfort, encouragement, and wisdom so that you can learn to love yourself, your life, and everyone in it.
