Every Brilliant Thing
By Duncan Macmillan & Johnny Donahoe
Every Brilliant Thing begins with a plan hatched by a seven-year-old in an attempt to understand their mother’s depression and help lift her out of it by documenting all the joys in life. Starting with the basics, like ice cream and the color yellow. The list is maintained throughout their lifetime and highlights the narrator’s ever-changing view of what is beautiful about the world as they reach adulthood.
