Gilly’s Notes on Life
In Gilly’s Notes on Life, One Clumsy Step at a Time, Gilly, an introverted and endearing illustrator, shares her personal reflections on the small, often messy moments that make up a life. Through a series of humorous, heartfelt notes, Gilly takes readers along on her journey of self-discovery, learning to embrace her imperfections and find beauty in the ordinary.
From spilling tea on her favorite sketchbook to taking a spontaneous walk and stumbling upon hidden gems, Gilly’s story is filled with moments that are as clumsy as they are meaningful. She explores the art of accepting her flaws, allowing herself to be vulnerable, and understanding that growth isn’t always a straight line—it’s more like a series of small, unexpected steps.
Whether it’s navigating the fear of judgment, celebrating the joy of simple victories, or learning to appreciate the quiet moments of solitude, Notes on Life, One Clumsy Step at a Time is a warm, uplifting reminder that life doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful. Through Gilly’s eyes, we learn that the best parts of life are often found in the messiest, most unplanned moments—one clumsy step at a time.

When I visited the newly opened Gramedia Jamla, this book was the first one that caught my eye. At first I thought it was cute and noticing that it was written by Indonesian, I thought it would be in Bahasa Indonesia. But I was wrong. I didn’t realize that I was familiar with the illustrations.
This small book isn’t as small as its thickness. Although it was small and written with light reading in mind, the content itself is very helpful. It’s the type of book you’d read over and over again, and you might be able to read it as easy as open random page daily just to remind ourselves that it’s okay despite the heaviness we felt.

Aku selalu suka sama buku-bukunya Naela Ali karena mewakili isi hati terdalam seorang introvert 😆
Buku ini berisi tulisan singkat disertai ilustrasi Si Gilly dan kucingnya Chuwy.
Sebenernya bisa banget nyelesaiin buku ini dalam sekali duduk, tapi karena saking suka dan relatenya sama buku ini, aku lebih pilih baca pelan-pelan, memaknai tulisannya dan menikmati ilustrasinya.
Definitely one of the best book I read in 2025!
