This is for Everybody


Do you ever feel alone? That no matter how many friends you have or amount of support, nobody will ever really understand you? These are the questions Rob Ryan asks as he begins his whimsical journey in This is for You, a beautiful yet simple story about the quest for love. Part storybook, part art book and all heart, the author's personal insights on the universal feelings of despair, hope and anticipation are told on elaborately decorated paper cut-outs. From intricately designed starry nights to woven ribbons circling park scenes filled with fallen leaves and scattered flowers, the pictures give depth to the simple and heartwarming story of a man who dreams of sharing the life he finds so beautiful, with someone else. Highly recommended!
