My 8yo son is literally obsessed with this book. He had taken it from the school library, but insisted that I buy him his own. He runs to get it every time he's doing something "new": he follows steps how to write address on an envelope, he's even made scrambled eggs! I'm so proud :) Great book!

Here's my review, from a parent: I liked this book so much because it was very encouraging, and felt like anyone can read and learn. There's no noise, just beautiful pages where the tone of the writer is so disarming. It's like the author cheers you on in some parts, not rah-rah, but basically really expeditiously, explaining clearly and succinctly how to do stuff. In the process, in between and around the lines, she explains how to be a better person. It had very useful stuff and LOTS of clarity about how to do things and how not to do them. It's upbeat, and also firm, and very clear about what to NOT do.
Some of this book is quietly hilarious - as in the advice is earnest but also funny, like how not to answer the phone (as in you can't just pick up the phone and not say anything) and how to address an envelope (like, the actual address goes in the middle). While as an adult, I should've learned everything here when I was younger, I love seeing it all super efficiently now, so I can teach it in a way that has far more clarity and far fewer words! (like, the best way to pack, the best way to save money).
I loved thinking about "How to be a Person" as a parent and figuring out what to actively ask our young teens to think about, like volunteering (this is taught in the how to make money section), like tipping.
Basically, all the pieces feel action-oriented and actionable. It's like the author is super-powering our kids (and us), writing to us (all) in a way that is so authentic, and showing us that we all can be better people by stopping some things and starting some things and noticing some things.
The book is divided into a six parts, and the part I loved the most was how to be happy. It's really beautiful and a little bit heart-wrenching.
This is the new birthday present, baby book, cool thing to send someone to give as a present to their child or teacher or neighbor - everyone will like it themselves and will love giving it as a present to someone they know and love.
Here's the review from Lola, 13: The book "How to be a person" was very informative, and the drawings were nice. It got straight to the point. It was very organized and easy to read. It gave good life skills, like how to use a Swiss army knife, how to light a fire, how to tie knots, how to get out a stain, how to make spaghetti, and other skills kids should know. 10/10 would recommend :)
