David Grayson is a wordsmith. He shows us how we can find value in the simple, everyday patterns of life...how every soul we encounter is worthy of our interest and investment. It inspires me to love better and look harder to find the good around us.

Optimism is contagious in Grayson’s narratives as he appreciates all the little things in life, and introduces us to interesting people along the way.

I love all his books. It’s like sitting by a warm fire on a chilly evening.
