Life's Little Lessons Rachel Toalson

In this reflective collection of micro-essays, award winning poet Rachel Toalson examines what it means to be human, how we live, and the ingredients for a joy-filled life. Guiding her readers through lessons like "Own Your Wrong Answer," "Don't Take Unkindness So Personally," "Take Heart: The Kids Will Be Okay," "Lose the Apologetic Tone," and many more, Rachel meditates on life, love, parenthood, and relationships in an illuminating blend of poetry and prose.



Life's Little Lessons is a profound reimagining of who we are and who we might be, a collection of thoughts and reflections that range from humorous to wistful, spanning endearing childhood tales to brave cultural commentary. At its heart, the clever compilation reminds us to love not only the people around us and out in the world but also ourselves. Life's little lessons, after all, usually lead to love.
