After the loss of his wife in a tragic accident, beloved artist Danny Gregory chronicled his grief in the medium he knows best—the pages of his illustrated journals.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The voice in your head is not evil, but it does evil. It is powerful, but its power can be broken. And now more than ever in the history of our brainy species, we need to take it on and prevent it from preventing us from addressing the many challenges our world faces today. #2 The voice of the inner critic is a familiar one. It’s the voice of doom, and it warns you of the dire consequences that will fall on you if you take the step you are contemplating. It makes you second-guess yourself. #3 The voice is what messes with creative people the most. It hates change and risk, and it will do anything to prevent you from changing your mind or doing something new. You must learn to shut it down. #4 I have been a creative person my whole life, and people have been paying me to make things for over thirty years. I have created many new ideas with millions of dollars at stake. I have had many briefings, deadlines, presentations, reviews, and awards.

Book Description
A jolly, delightfully illustrated story for the very young about a restless monkey who doesn't want to go to sleep. Once upon a time in an ancient forest, there lived a little monkey. And this little monkey would run, jump, climb trees, dive in the lake, and chase butterflies—all day long! She would yawn and yawn as the sun set. The other animals would ask her, “Why are you so tired, little monkey? You should go to sleep.” But she would respond: “I’m not tired in the least. . . . So I don’t need to go to sleep.” In the trees, she'd sway under the stars as her friends' eyes shut all around her. Does the day have to end? Will the little monkey give into her yawns and her heavy eyelids, or will she play all night?
