My Book of Life (2 Volumes), Oluwadahunsi

As you open each page of this book and look at the pictures and the prose beneath, you get a great sense of who the author is and what he is trying to say. The gorgeous pictures are of nature; trees, birds, water, sunsets, and sunrises, and his words are telling us to stop the senseless killing and corrupting of our world that cradles and nurtures us. In The Sweet Smell of Wonderful, page 37, the picture is a mountain pond with a snow-capped mountain in the distance, and the prose tells us:

Things of this Earth are what they are
All that is owned is within you
Nothing is possessed that you hold onto to
All are utility if the material.

Likewise, his prose also introduces us to the nature of ourselves, and our emotions like hate, envy, and greed:

It tries to get even
Temptation has no boundaries
Anyone can fall prey
Trouble knows no rank
It rankles everyone
It
