Wrestling a Walrus is a small book about the magic of sitting with big feelings. It's written by a therapist for children, but every adult is going to feel better after reading this book too. The lyrical prose and mesmerizing artwork create a favorite children's book that will be loved and read over and over again. -Betsy Murphy This treasure of a story explores the emotions we feel and narratives we create when something (or someone) blocks the path we've chosen. Then, with profound clarity, the characters reveal what's possible when we stop wrestling long enough to accept the beautiful gifts hidden within our greatest obstacles. -Emily Sutherland
