Every parent wants to hand their child something that lasts. This is that something. Little Instructions for a Big Life gathers over five hundred small, honest pieces of wisdom — on courage, kindness, faith, friendship, money, and everything in between — written to be read a little at a time, and returned to for years. Give it to a child. Read it with a teenager. Keep it on the nightstand until it's dog-eared and dear. A gift for one good life: theirs.
