Gmorning, Gnight! by Lin-Manuel Miranda


I have loved Lin-Manuel Miranda for years and when I saw that he had a book published from his celebrated tweets, I was excited to read it. In Gmorning, Gnight! each left page has a Good Morning message. One of my favorites is this:

Gmorning from the younger version of you,
who couldn't wait to be you at this age right now.

The right page is then followed with the evening companion:

Gnight from the older version of you,
who remembers the very moment you are in right now
and is grinning from ear to ear, because
you have no idea about
the wonders ahead.

How lovely is that?! There are so many sweet little encouragements in this book that would be perfectly at home on your bathroom mirror or stuck to your morning coffee cup. 

In addition, this darling little book is illustrated by Jonny Sun whose doodles look a little like they belong in a Shel Silverstein book. This would make a wonderful gift for anyone you love or even like a little bit. 

I'll leave you with what I'm going to be putting on the inside of my medicine cabinet:

Gnight.
Tomorrow we try again.
Rest up.
