The Coziest Place on the Moon - Hardcover

Maria Popova thinks and writes about our search for meaning--sometimes through science and philosophy, sometimes through poetry and children's books, always through the lens of wonder. She is the creator of The Marginalian (born in 2006 under the name Brain Pickings), which is included in the Library of Congress permanent digital archive of culturally valuable materials, and has spent ample happy hours making An Almanac of Birds: Divinations for Uncertain Days. She has written some very long books (Figuring and Traversal) and one other very short book besides The Coziest Place on the Moon (The Snail with the Right Heart), and her show The Universe in Verse--a charitable celebration of the wonder of reality through stories of science winged with poetry--has also become a book the length of a day on Saturn. Sarah Jacoby is the award-winning author and illustrator of such picture books as Doris, Can I Sit with You?, and Forever or a Day. Her work is mostly book-oriented these days, though she has worked with folks like The New York Times and The Washington Post. Jacoby's work is evocative and delightfully unexpected, playful and effortlessly profound. Her work is characterized by a deeply felt empathy, a keenly observant eye, and an intuitive ability to capture and convey what it means to think, feel, and be in this world as a human. She lives and works in a little row home in Philadelphia.
