Zen Pencils Volume Two: Dream the Impossible Dream
The second volume of Zen Pencils comics takes more of your favorite inspirational quotes and poetry and transforms them into heartwarming cartoon stories.
Featuring quotes of revered minds including Isaac Asimov, Maya Angelou, Kahlil Gibran, Robert F. Kennedy, and William Shakespeare plus celebrities such as Amy Poehler, Jim Henson, and Kevin Smith, wise words are given a new lease on life through the medium of comics.
This collection also includes a pull-out poster and an all-new 16-page story from creator Gavin Aung Than.
Praises for Zen Pencils Volume Two: Dream the Impossible Dream:
“Than fuses inspirational quotes with his own comics panels and in the process creates something finer that simply the sum of the two. The sometimes literal, sometimes metaphorical adaptations are charming, funny, and pointedly invigorating. A gift suitable for kids and adults, ideal for graduates and career seekers!” —Publishers Weekly
