Kirsten SevigStriped Pears and Polka Dots: The Art of Being Happy

I love this book for my mood and inspiration. It's a delight! My used copy appears to be brand new. I LOVE when that happens!

This book is just lovely. It would make a wonderful gift for a bookworm. Love it.

I have been following Kirsten on Instagram for some time. A novice, self-taught artist myself, I always got inspiration from her work. This book, however, surpassed all of my expectations. I was not expecting an insight into her life, her struggles, her victories. It hit close to home and I am in love with this book. It has been a long time since a book brought smiles, laughs and tears in my eyes at the same time. THANK YOU for putting yourself out there through your work and showing me that there is still hope if you keep trying and live life one day, one pear at a time :)Annu

This is an incredibly, delightful little book! I happen to adore watercolor mini art, so this is right up my alley. But it's a sparkly little book filled with lovely art work and warm thoughts. She shares thoughts, personal ancedotes, good advice, tidbits of knowledge, recipes, etc...rather random. Thank you, Kirsten, for this book! This was my birthday present to myself and I am truly enjoying it. She is a gifted watercolor artist!

I often pick up this book and sit with my cup of tea to read a few pages while enjoying the artwork. The first book I bought for myself, the subsequent six copies I purchased will go to friends that I know will love it as much as I do. It’s a little book of joy that you can take anywhere with you.

..an impulse buy. I’m abit surprised that somebody actually published this..with that said, its cute enough.

This is a happy, colorful, whimsical little book that will make you 😃 smile. I loved it and will carry it around so I can crack it open again whenever I have a grumpiness emergency. Striped pears will pull me out of any bad mood.

I really love this book. Too lovely to not have one. Actually the paper is not as thick as I've expected but still, all the colors are so bright and beautiful. Nothing to say with those illustrations inside. Amazing! I take this book with me anytime, its size perfectly fit my bag. What an inspiration when you get bored or sad. Get one!

Ein unheimlich niedliches, inspierendes kleines Büchlein, in das offensichtlich viel Herzblut geflossen ist. Ich nehme es immer wieder mal zwischendurch in die Hand und blättere gerne darin herum, weil es einfach gute Laune macht. Ein süßes Geschenk für jede verträumte Seele...

Un livre tout simple, rempli d’illustrations qui font du bien et agrémenté de petites surprises. Joie de vivre assurée, merci.

I brought this gift for my friend who is self employed and is struggling due to the Covid crisis. Her father had also died. It was a delightful little pick me up gift to let her know I was thinking of her. Beautiful words and illustrations

Very small book...

Have been following her on Instagram, was waiting this book to be available on Amazon , and it didn't disappoint, the print is very nice and painting too, so I recommend it
