Every Brilliant Thing

Notify me when the book’s added

You’re seven years old.

Mum’s in hospital.

Dad says she’s ‘done something stupid’.

She finds it hard to be happy.

You start a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world.

Everything worth living for.

You leave it on her pillow.

You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling.

Because then there would be no mystery, no curiosity, no creativity, no conversation, no discovery. Nothing would be new and we’d have no need to use our imaginations and our imaginations are what make life bearable.
