The other day, my 7 year old told me some jellyfish can live forever. I thought he was using his imagination. I was wrong!

the bk that inspired Spirited Away out in translation May 27. I ❤️ Miyazaki’s film & this author’s Temple Alley Summer, so this was a must. It is a quick, charming read. Quite different from the film, but evidently an inspiration just the same. #booksky #kidsbooksky #mustown

Like so many others, I’ve been overwhelmed by the amount of fear and cruelty in the news. This book of short stories about Thich Nhat Hanh’s life was exactly what I needed. It helped me find a sense of peace, gratitude, and wonder - and expand my understanding of empathy. Highly recommend. ✨

My upcoming board book with Nakul P. and Random House Books for Young Readers is deeply personal. Learning to ❤️ myself has been a journey and a gift. As a father, I have more love and pride than ever—and a hope that my son will always know he is enough (no matter who he is).

Walking behind a young couple, I heard the guy say, “Come on!” 😠 I assumed he was mad at his girlfriend. Nope. He started picking up litter on the sidewalk. Then others joined in. 💚
