An Inspirational Tale with 42 Beautiful Illustrations

In this story for all ages, a struggling boy begins a life-changing journey when a disgusting guest disturbs his dinner. Continuing to encounter sources of suffering, the boy must investigate fundamental truths he has believed about himself, love, and life. He confronts some of life’s most persistent questions:

• What am I?

• What causes me to suffer?

• How can I be at peace with the traumas of the past and the uncertainty of the future?

• What determines how I experience life?

Described as “a children's book for adults,” How to Hold a Cockroach was written for adults but is suitable for thoughtful teenagers and children.
