A light for dark times—I initially bought the e-book version, which is beautiful, but immediately returned to buy a print book. This is a book you'll want to give as a gift, to keep on your shelf, to pull out and flip through during hard times and happy ones. The poetry is raw and real and hopeful, even when it's tinged with sadness. The illustrations are a beautiful complement. Buy it!

Amazing book and inspiring healing poems for a world that’s hurting. Would highly recommend for anyone struggling with painful experiences.

HIGHLY recommend this book of poetry from Nightbirde. For those unfamiliar, Jane (who goes by Nightbirde) performed on Americas Got Talent and got the golden buzzer from Simon for her song “It’s Ok”. She was going through cancer treatment and unfortunately passed away and was unable to finish the show and share more of her amazing work. These poems showcase her remarkable talent with observing life and navigating hardship. As a 3x cancer survivor myself, I cannot even express how moved I was (and continue to be) by her words. No matter your journey, her poems are insightful and healing - a book showcasing her light in the midst of the dark. Honestly my favorite book for 2023 and on my stocking stuffers list for all my friends and family!

Beautiful, powerful, hopeful — exactly Nightbirde’s legacy. These words of strength and vulnerability hold such wisdom and present the story of God’s goodness in times of unimaginable hardship. The perfect words for all manner of life’s challenges, continually pointing the reader toward the undeniable, though often invisible, truths of hope, love, and grace.

I remember the moment I first saw Jane on television and the day that her words changed my life. The way she spoke and the hope she carried caught my attention. I remember the words that I held onto the most from that day, “You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy.” Those words, though I didn’t fully realize it then, changed my life.

It was heartbreaking to hear the news of her passing but I knew that she had truly left a footprint of hope in many others as she did with me. She will not be forgotten in this world and I am glad to have the privilege of knowing who she was.

This book shows her pain and suffering but it also shows her joy and hope that she wished to share with others. Her words strung together like a spring bouquet, knowing that they [the flowers] will eventually wilt away; though the flowers knew this, they still stood strong for as long as they could, fighting the pains of the world, showing us that we must do the same. She was an inspiration to many others and will continue to be.

I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this book and adore her beautiful writing style and the way her mind worked. I will for sure be recommending this book and other things of Nightbirde to others.
