Synopsis

This book can be anything you want it to be—a place to record a special moment in your own words, a journal of memories, a perpetual record of birthdays, anniversaries, and other milestones of family and friends, or even simply a book of poetry and inspiration.  This is a book you will keep forever because it chronicles not just a year but every year as you continue to add important events year after year.
 

Gunilla Norris invites you to save and savor the lyrical moments in life by writing them down in the pages of this elegant, artfully designed memory book/journal, with designated spaces provided for each day of the year.  On the Wing features Norris’s haikus, poems, and inspirational quotes, and each month showcases one of Toinette Lippe’s beautiful hummingbird paintings. These hummingbirds evoke the sense of a lyrical moment: stationary but alive, hovering, humming with meaning and wonder.

With stunning Chinese brush painted hummingbird art adorning thoughtful, beautiful, evocative poetry, On the Wing is as beautiful as it is inspirational.  As you fill it in over the years, this book will become a treasured keepsake filled with remembrances of life events and moments in time.
