Folded Wisdom

A story of life, love, and growing up told through the 3,500+ illustrated daily notes a dad wrote to his two kids. In bookstores everywhere!

[The Nerd Daily @thenerdaily]

Nerd Daily contributor Beth loved reading 'Folded Wisdom' this year and it's "sure to resonate with parents and their adult children alike." @foldedwisdom @CeladonBooks

@NewYorker @amandapetrusich "It’s hard not to think about art-making of any kind as an alchemical process, in which feelings and experiences go in and something else comes out. Whatever happens in between is mysterious, if not sublime: suddenly, an ordinary sensation is made beautiful."

"...she remains cool, almost sanguine, about her legacy and its reverberations. 'Work is meant to be seen,' she writes in the foreword." Thank god for the ones who feel like Joni. https://t.co/PBvVfKsSq3 cc @newyorker @amandapetrusich

"Time flies by. It always does. Blink and it's tomorrow… Feel, love, work, be happy, enjoy, cherish, hold on, let go, fly (home)." (Note from 1/3/06)

"There are always obstacles that stand in your way or challenges that must be faced in order for you to keep moving forward. Accept them, deal with them, overcome them and move on. Listen to your heart and follow your own path." (Note from 4/14/06) #foldedwisdom

Joanna's father wrote and illustrated notes to his children for 14 years. Joanna combed through over 3,500 of these notes to create 'Folded Wisdom'.

We had the pleasure of chatting to Joanna and her father, Bob! @OhJoannie @foldedwisdom @CeladonBooks

You Guys,
It’s OK if you fall apart sometimes.

Since Peter Gillen isn’t on social, I can share it’s not too late to send @foldedwisdom for Dad’s Day 🥰

@ChrisYandle Thank you! Keep writing ❤️

[Folded Wisdom @foldedwisdom]

@booksfordc love knowing the book is available at your local library!

[Folded Wisdom @foldedwisdom]

"This is an inspiring book, without being preachy. It’s not a self-help book—despite all the sage advice contained therein. There’s no conversation about taking Bob’s advice and applying to our lives. And yet, perhaps its reading community will do just that." Thank you, Barbara!

"#Love is soft and quiet and elusive; it hides behind so many things—too many things..." What a beautiful story this #MothersDay from @wrightr in the @NewYorker. Thanks for sharing your mother's wisdom. https://t.co/SnUWcRxXnO

Tell people if you think they did something remarkable, no matter how small. Don't just think it to yourself, tell them!

Could make a fun game out of “Who said it: @AbbyWambach or Bob?!”

“Life is short, the ephemeral is everywhere, so we go on making art." Remembering #AgnèsVarda this morning. And feeling focused on this idea of making "an art of memory without nostalgia." #RIP https://t.co/6fwm4kor1w via @Alex_Lily
