About The Book
This collection of hope will move you and remind you of what's important in life as you live it.
From Iain S. Thomas, the creator of I Wrote This For You, and artist Carla Kreuser comes a collection of 300 things they truly and sincerely hope for you: from wishing you always have a pen, to hoping you're never lonely, and everything in-between.
This collection of inspiring prose and illustrations will move you, and remind you of what's important in life as you live it. Or, that's what they hope.
About The Illustrator
Carla Kreuser is a graphic designer, and sometimes poet, with a penchant for horror stories and binding her own illustrated books by hand. She grew up in Pretoria, but currently lives closer to the sea in Cape Town, where she met poet Iain Thomas. In her spare time, she fills her sketchbooks by exploring the city on foot and people-watching.

"This is me. This is you. This is us. This is every human being, past and present, old and young, of every ethnicity, race and faith. Our every complex human emotion translated into words.
