A TIME Best Children's Book of 2019
A Chicago Public Library 2019 Best of the Best Book

*"This minimalistic masterpiece is a must-read for all ages." --School Library Journal (starred review )

A quirky, cautionary tale from beloved New York Times bestselling picture book creator Oliver Jeffers

There was once a man who believed he owned everything and set out to survey what was his.

"You are mine," Fausto said to the flower, the sheep, and the mountain, and they all bowed before him. But they were not enough for Fausto, so he conquered a boat and set out to sea . . .

Combining bold art and powerful prose, and working in traditional lithographic printmaking techniques for the first time, world-renowned talent Oliver Jeffers has created a poignant modern-day fable to touch the hearts of adults and children alike.

Praise for The Fate of Fausto

"Jeffers paints Fausto and the objects of his desire with the nonchalant finesse he is known for and in the richly saturated colors he generally favors... Jeffers delivers swift justice in a few concluding words that make for an ending that satisfies for being both fair-minded and irrevocable."--New York Times Book Review

"Boldly conceived and gracefully executed."--Publishers Weekly

"A parable sure to spark lively discussions." --Booklist

"A cautionary fable on the banality of belligerence." --Kirkus Reviews

Actually Works!!
I’ve tried a lot of products to whiten my teeth, and this is the only one that has really worked for me without causing any sensitivity. Both the Boka Fluoride-Free Whitening Toothpaste and the Boka Teeth Whitening Powder are very gentle on my teeth, which I really appreciate. I’ve noticed a visible difference, and I love that I can get results without the discomfort that usually comes with whitening products. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a gentler option for teeth whitening

Finally, the Law of Attraction Explained Clearly
Over the past 25 years, I’ve explored countless books on energy practices and the laws of vibrational attraction. Yet, if I could go back in time and choose just one to read on this subject, it would undoubtedly be this one. Nowhere else have I seen the principles of the law of attraction explained so completely, clearly, and yet with such elegant simplicity This book was clearly written by someone with a deep understanding of how the law of attraction operates and how our energy functions, both internally and externally. It addresses all the reasons why the law of attraction "don't work" for so many people and clearly explains all the key elements of how it truly works - unlike so many other books that levees out important parts of the puzzle. Even I, who consider myself somewhat of an expert on this topic, learned something new from this book. Allow me a small note of constructive criticism: for some reason, the eBook version doesn’t support text-to-speech via Kindle Assistive Reader, which I found disappointing. Hopefully, this can be resolved in a future update. Beyond this minor issue, the book is excellently written, thoughtfully organized, and, most importantly, filled with invaluable lessons, practical tools, and techniques for raising your vibration and inviting positive synchronicities into your life.

Manifest your desires with this book.
I really enjoyed this book on how to master your energy and learn the law of attraction. I've read several different books on manifesting in the law of attraction and a few things stood out to me in this particular book. The study about the effect of certain emotions on water was really interesting and I've never heard that before. I also thought the section on food and how it can affect your energy was also quite interesting. I will definitely read through the book again and it is a fairly simple read but I did enjoy some of the simple techniques that describe to help to manifest more. If you are looking for a fairly straightforward read on how to attract great things in your life and manifest this is a great book to start with.
