Where to Begin: A Small Book about Your Power to Create Big Change in Our Crazy World by Cleo Wade

4.0

Cute little book of poems about the power an individual holds in making changes to the world. My favorite quote was "No one nominated Harriet Tubman to her purpose, to her courage, to her mission. She did not say 'I am not a congressperson or the president, so how could I possibly participate in the fight to abolish a system as big as slavery?' She instead spent ten years making nineteen trips freeing 300 people. One person at a time." So many are caught in a way of thinking, myself included, that the world is too big to change but in fact it starts with us. In the words of Van Gough "Great things are done by a series of small things brought together." I picked up this book as a splurge in a book store and although it was completely different from what I thought it was, I really enjoyed it! 4 stars, paperback.
