Books by Siobhan
Choose your way to a perfect day with this adventurous book full of personality, tongue-in-cheek wordplay, and gorgeous illustrations. From small-talk to dating to death, In A Daze Work is an exciting, playful new spin on the minute and mundane decisions that make up your daily life. Each flip of the page puts you in control of the story:
Will you stay in or go out?
Do you wake up or sleep in?
How will you navigate a bad date, or a party full of cookie-cutter couples (available in vanilla flavor only)?
More important, where will your decisions take you?
Bringing humor and sly self-reflection to the humdrum details of adulthood, this relatable visual journey will help you find the extraordinary (or at least hilarious) moments in any day of the week.
Explore the ways that your past has affected the person you’ve grown into in this fully illustrated journal.
You are who you are today because of a million tiny moments. It’s hard to say which moments are responsible for your tendency to cancel plans, what initiated a weird habit, or why your go-to comfort food as a kid was a ketchup-and-mustard sandwich, but sometimes you only need to spend a little time reflecting in order to unearth these connections between past and present. In this illustrated journal, artist Siobhan Gallagher will jog your memory and encourage self-reflection with fun and engaging prompts, such as:
What is something (or someone) you can’t believe you ever liked?
In the museum of your life, what moment was so important that it would need to be represented by a life-sized diorama?
If you could bottle up your childhood, what would it smell like? (Chocolate-scented markers? Grandma’s house?)
Draw and label all the things you’ve lost that you wish you’d found.
With plenty of room to write and reflect, Who Do You Think You Are? will help you examine your past to understand the unique and fascinating timeline that made you into the person you are today.
