One thing you need to-do
I've yet to hold a copy of Maya Waldman's book, to-do list, in my hands, but I can heartily recommend that it be bought. Immediately. I've come to know Maya's work from a friendly online community, and over the years I've enjoyed seeing the artwork she has contributed. And now, some of what's she has drawn (and written?) comes in the form of this neat little book.
Can I really recommend this book without seeing it first? Why, yes I can. If you're not convinced, here is some of Maya's other work to get an idea of what you can probably expect from the book:
- Some of Maya's finely-detailed work from her notebooks
- A weblog of Maya's letters home during her stay in the Marshall Islands
And just for good measure, here's the description from the Amazon listing:
To-Do List inspires young and old not to take life too seriously. The "tasks" on Maya's to-do list range from the everyday-buy milk, be less messy, go on vacation, make friends, and no fighting-to the exceptional-dance like an octopus, hug flowers, star gaze, smile giant, eat sweets, and count clouds.
Each "task" is adorned with an ink drawing that has been painstakingly hand-rendered in astonishing detail. Soon enough, your own to-do list will include enjoying the novelties found on every page.
And please note that although Amazon lists this as an audiobook, it's not. That should hopefully be corrected soon.
