Whimsical and full of wisdom, this illustrated gift book traces an endearing duckling’s journey to rediscover “muchness”—the hope, joy, and imagination we’re born with but sometimes forget along the way.

What is muchness? And how do you find it? Muchness is the full-hearted abundance of hope, joy, and imagination that each of us has when we come into this world. Over time, as we take on more responsibilities and worries, our doubts and fears have a way of growing with us. And because of this, we can lose much of our muchness. This little book is about finding it again.

Written by New York Times bestselling author Kobi Yamada, Finding Muchness follows the adventures of an adorable duckling on a journey to living a heart-led life. It’s a tale filed wonder and timeless invitations to live bravely, care deeply, and get the most out of every one of your moments.

Gift this beautiful book to celebrate a birthday, graduation, new venture, retirement, or life transition. Its delightful life lessons are sure to resonate with anyone ages 99 and under!

Kobi Yamada is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of What Do You Do with an Idea?, Finding Muchness, Because I Had a Teacher, and many other bestselling, award-winning books. In addition to being the creator of inspiring books and products, he is also the president of Compendium. He lives with his family in the Pacific Northwest. View titles by Kobi Yamada
