I came to know this children's classic just a few years ago and its beauty and humor grabbed my heart instantly. On the surface, it has little to do with my work or my life. But its core--its characters' idiosyncrasies, its empathy, its timeless truths--resonated deeply. Its clarity and precision make me think of the insight, skill, and effort behind work that appears simple. To me, it feels like words to live by and represents a level of mastery to which I aspire.
