An extraordinary literary sensation, Kaur and her message of hope, healing, and empowerment continues to resonate with a rising global generation. milk and honey celebrates the challenges and triumphs facing the modern woman. In strikingly personal, yet widely relatable poems accompanied by original illustrations, she 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 life's experiences. From breakups to trauma, Kaur leads readers through life's most bitter moments to find their hidden sweetness.
A beautiful complement to milk and honey, the sun and her flowers is a vibrant and transcendent journey about growth and healing. Ancestry and honoring one's roots. Expatriation and rising up to find a home within yourself. Divided into five chapters and illustrated in Kaur's 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.
Both milk and honey and the sun and her flowers have captivated readers since the time of publication (in 2015 and 2017, respectively). milk and honey remained on the New York Times and The Globe and Mail bestseller lists for more than three consecutive years; the sun and her flowers debuted at #1 on the New York Times, The Globe and Mail, and other international bestseller lists and remained on the New York Times list for 73 consecutive weeks. A runaway international success, the books have been translated into 40 languages. In addition to writing and illustrating, Rupi performs her poetry and spoken word pieces to capacity audiences and to worldwide acclaim.
