About the Book

Begin to process grief and remember those lost using the art form of origami. Learn to fold an origami swan using square, origami paper, and befriend the often confusing and sometimes unsettling feelings experienced during bereavement, in mourning, and after loss. With each origami swan that takes shape, meditate, grieve, and honor their memory. Learn that grief has no timeline and carries no expiration. Feelings, as confusing as they may be, are a valid and necessary part of the healing journey. Begin that journey today with this beautifully illustrated book. Using black-and-white nature illustrations paired with pressed florals and grasses, artist Michèle Saint-Michel takes you by the hand and leads you down the path toward healing. Step-by-step instructions assist even those unfamiliar with origami to fold a paper swan. Using poetic language and Japanese design aesthetics, Saint-Michel builds a robust world where escape is possible: a world of magical, flightless birds, where grief and loss can be embodied and explored. Give this book as a thoughtful, quiet gift to someone you care about or to yourself.

Review :
An utterly beautiful, heartbreaking yet fulfilling guide to recovery. Each page is impeccably put together. The words and images are indescribably evocative. Both the art and the pressed flowers, the origami, are all poetry in their own right. I cried, I smiled, I dreamed. It was truly a surprisingly wonderful experience, I strongly recommend this to anyone who may have lost someone dear in your life, regardless of who or what the relationship was. -Jacob I lost my father 10 years ago and that was when I finally ordered this book. I wish I had done it much sooner because it was one of the most healing and beautiful books I have ever read. I felt understood, seen and finally like I wasn't alone. Thank you so much for this work of art and healing. -Christa STUNNING. Beautiful in all the ways. Relatable. Creative. Powerful. I will recommend this book to anyone looking for a way to show support to a griever in their life. I'm already adding it to my cart for the holiday season. -Chantal
