It's no secret, but we are judged by our bookshelves. We learn to read at an early age, and as we grow older we shed our beloved books for new ones. But some of us surround ourselves with books. We collect them, decorate with them, are inspired by them, and treat our books as sacred objects. In this lighthearted collection of one- and two-page comics, writer/artist Grant Snider explores bookishness in all its forms, building on the beloved literary comics featured on his website, Incidental Comics.
A playful examination of the way we think (and overthink) by cartoonist Grant Snider, creator of Incidental Comics, which appear regularly in the New York Times Book ReviewThinking About Thinking-the latest sly and charming collection of one- and two-page haiku-like comics from cartoonist Grant Snider-explores our inner life, using colorful illustrations and clever visual metaphors to depict the spectrum of our emotions. Facing self-doubt? Overcoming fears? Grappling with indecision? Snider doesn't present solutions to these challenges, but he does inspire and encourage, offering thoughtful reassurance and a unique, humorous perspective that's characteristic of his work-an approach that resonates with millions of readers all over the world. Emotions can be tricky to navigate. We overthink. We second-guess. And we can't get out of our own way. The reality is, it's impossible for any of us to understand our complicated feelings fully. But fear not, because you've come to the right place.
"A collection of illustrated poems about everything from new shoes and falling leaves to friendship and growing up"--
With fantastic bursts of color and lyricism, Grant Snider explores the extraordinary within the ordinary in this ode to seemingly boring days and the wonders that emerge for anyone open to seeing them. The day is gloomy and the world feels like it's asleep . . . but perhaps all that's required for adventure is a bit of curiosity and patience. After all, an everyday stroll can become an adventure in the blink of an eye. On a day when even the rain is too bored to fall, ride alongside a girl on her rickety bicycle through the familiar scenes of her neighborhood as she rediscovers the colors - a splash of yellow, a flash of red, a flutter of blue - that can be found even on a monochrome day. In this story that celebrates do-nothing days and solitary adventures, readers learn how embracing the quiet stillness of a gray day with openness and curiosity can make space for unexpected encounters, meaningful detours, and some of life's most unforgettable moments. With luminous illustrations that practically glow on the page, Grant Snider takes readers on a visual journey they'll want to return to again and again.

Tackling one rhythm of the day - morning - and one educational concept - sound - the result is an uplifting companion to What Color Is Night? that will make anyone ready to face the day.
What does an idea look like? And where do they come from? Grant Snider's illustrations will motivate you to explore these questions, inspire you to come up with your own answers and, like all Gordian knots, prompt even more questions.
