Description

Global sensation and internationally renowned author - Rupi Kaurs milk and honey celebrates the challenges and triumphs facing the modern woman. In strikingly personal, yet widely relatable poems accompanied by original illustrations, Kaur challenges the idea that women should be quiet, gentle, and submissive and instead encourages women to be strong, powerful, and proud. Each of the four chapters (the hurting, the loving, the breaking, and the healing) serves a different purpose and explores the many kinds of pain and healing of lifes experiences. From breakups to trauma, Kaur leads readers through lifes most bitter moments to find their hidden sweetness.

Paired with milk and honey in this exquisite boxed set: the sun and her flowers, a vibrant and transcendent journey about growth and healing. Ancestry and honouring ones roots. Expatriation and rising up to find a home within yourself. Divided into five chapters and illustrated in Kaurs signature style, the sun and her flowers is a journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising, and blooming. A celebration of love in all its forms.
