''I Miss You is an artful resource for those looking to ease the burdens of longing and lighten their heavy hearts''. -- Foreword Reviews

With a gentle and considerate style, this evocative little gift book proposes a series of conceptual activities to help the reader work through the sense of loss that arises when someone or something is missing from their lives. For example;

Spend one minute writing a list of all the things you can remember doing with the person that you miss. Simple everyday events can make as many memories as big adventures. Write as fast as you can. When one minute is up, stick the list to a window pane so that it can be seen from outside.

With beautiful, stripped back illustration and elegant packaging, this book is a striking and affordable gift for a friend or for yourself.

Reviews for I Miss You: Activities for yearning hearts

''Gioia Guerzoni's I Miss You is a beautiful book of exercises designed to quell longing for absent people, places, and things. This work recognizes a variety of scenarios in which one might yearn. For those missing a person, the book suggests exercises like writing down activities that might be done together in the future or wearing a piece of clothing that a loved one left behind. For those missing a place, it recommends preparing food and listening to music; for those missing a season, it proposes that an umbrella on a sunny day, or sunglasses during a snow storm, can go a long way when mixed with imagination. Each exercise is accessible, requiring few to no materials in order to seek the desired result. And all are accompanied by charming illustrations--of a paper boat in a section on how water might be helpful; of a person with a long shadow in a section that addresses time. These images are evocative of both loss and comfort. I Miss You is an artful resource for those looking to ease the burdens of longing and lighten their heavy hearts''. -- Foreword Reviews
