What You Need to Be Warm by Neil Gaiman

I loved the idea behind this!
Gaiman mentions in the foreward that he asked for people to submit ideas behind the theme of what it means to be warm and then he used his skills to combine the different ideas to make a cohesive poem brought to lif side by side with different illustrations from various artists.
The poem itself reminded me of the different good memories I've counted myself to have had and how lucky I still am that I have what I have. This short read grounded me and made me realize how thankful I am for what I have—regardless if it's a good, bad, terrible, or amazing day, to be thankful and to share when able.
I borrowed this from the library but I'm hoping to buy a few copies as gifts as each purchase of the book will help support the work of the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, which helps forcibly displaced communities and stateless people across the world.
