Known for her charming animal illustrations that are “guaranteed to make you smile” (Good Housekeeping), internationally bestselling author and illustrator Liz Climo is back with a new collection of 100 comics that celebrate the joy of life’s littlest moments. Every page of Life in the Present is brimming with her patented blend of humor and warm-hearted wisdom, and her adorable bears, otters, bunny rabbits, and hamsters (among others) help us all to see the beauty in life’s least significant occasions. ?
Whether they’re grabbing for a slice of pizza that’s just out of reach or trying to gather the energy to go out on a Friday night, the delightful animal characters depicted in these comics—75 of which are brand new and never-before-seen—are guaranteed to brighten one’s day.
Climo is a cartoonist, international bestselling author and illustrator who has worked as a character artist on The Simpsons for over a decade. She is the author and illustrator of more than 15 books, including the Rory the Dinosaur series, The Little World of Liz Climo collection, and You’re Mom.
