From New York Times bestselling author Mari Andrew, a collection of essays and illustrations, divided into phases of the sky--twilight, golden hour, night, and dawn--that serves as a loyal companion for life's curveballs

A whole, beautiful life is only made possible by the wide spectrum of feelings that exist between joy and sorrow. In this insightful and warm book, writer and illustrator Mari Andrew explores all the emotions that make up a life, in the process offering insights about trauma and healing, the meaning of home and the challenges of loneliness, finding love in the most unexpected of places--from birds nesting on a sculpture to a ride on the subway--and a resounding case for why sometimes you have to put yourself in the path of magic.

My Inner Sky empowers us to transform everything that's happened to us into something meaningful, reassurance that even in our darkest times, there's light and beauty to be found.

Essays and illustrations on finding the beauty all around us from Mari Andrew

Quote: "There's something about Mari Andrew's words and illustrations that make you feel at home"

"It's hard finding a better source of light" - Adam Grant, author of Think Again

"Shares with us one word and illustration at a time why being alive is so worth it." Aminatou Sow

Quote from Mari Andrew: "Who want's a sky that's blue all the time? I want a full menu..."

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for My Inner Sky

“Andrew’s new book is a calming tonic for uncertain times. It has essays and illustrations about overcoming life’s obstacles and learning to embrace `day, night and all the times in between.’ Her writing shines in a way that makes the reader feel seen.” –
Washington Post

“There's something about Mari Andrew's words and illustrations that make you feel at home.
My Inner Sky reminds readers of the shared grief, joy, and sorrow that we experience throughout life—and how to cope with it.”
—Marie Claire

“Looking for a grounding read? This collection of essays and illustrations can help you out with that. It’s broken into four dreamy sections: twilight, golden hour, night, and dawn. Each one tackles emotions–from trying to heal after trauma to finding love in surprising places. Plus, this book will look cute on your coffee table when you’re finished with it.”
—Cosmopolitan

“A bestselling author writes poignantly about finding beauty in darkness and hope in the face of despair. She’s my favorite Instagram poet (yes, that’s a thing), and it’s hard to imagine finding a brighter source of light than her words and illustrations.”
Adam Grant, award-winning psychologist, author, educator, and public speaker

“To say this year has been challenging is an understatement and it's easy to despair at the scale of the loss we are collectively experiencing accross the globe. This book is a reminder that healing is humbling, that resilience is beautiful, that there is joy in choosing yourself and that life is made of little moments worth paying attention to and celebrating. Mari makes no grand pronouncements and doesn't offer any easy advice. Instead she shares with us one word and one illustration at a time why being alive is so damn worth it.”
—Aminatou Sow, author of Big Friendship

“Mari Andrew’s words and artwork in
My Inner Sky are exactly what the world needs now: hopeful, uplifting, and healing. This book is for anyone who needs an infusion of light in their life.”
—Ally Love, founder and CEO of Love Squad, Peloton instructor, and host of Basics of Bossing Up

“Mari Andrew is so relatably thrilled, frustrated, and fascinated by life—so recognizably human—that it's impossible not to root for her, and in doing so, root for all of us.
My Inner Sky is the deep, peaceful exhale everyone needs right now and always.”
—Mary Laura Philpott, author of I Miss You When I Blink
 
“Mari Andrew has a jeweler’s eye. She teaches us to look at the world, and then to look again—to make a scared ritual of the ordinary, to search for magic in the mundane, and to excavate beauty from pain. Her collection of essays,
My Inner Sky, is an enchanting, big-hearted study of how to navigate the in-betweenness of grief, illness, love and, ultimately, of healing. Through Andrew’s stories, we travel through her innermost thoughts, the turbulent passages of her past, and all around the world—Spain, Greece, Australia, France, and the streets of New York City. At each turn, she uncovers hard-earned coins of wisdom in the most unlikely places. This book is a wonder, and a must-read for the heartsick, the suffering, the lonely, the seeking, which is to say: All of us.”
—Suleika Jaouad, author of Between Two Kingdoms

“A timely and modern prompt to allow, even celebrate, the full spectrum of emotion and experience into our lives, the pain, the splendor, and the many, many nuances in between.”
—Zoë Foster Blake, author of Break-Up Boss

“Her astonishment with human resilience jumps off every page. Her prose and her artwork both paint generous, vivid portraits of her emotional self. Perfect for fans of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic (2015).”
Booklist

    I love Mari’s writing (her paid newsletter is worth it! (she also has a free version)) so I thought I’d look up her books. The cover was so beautiful and the title caught me so I clicked on it. When I received it I was pleasantly surprised by the physical quality of the book. It feels like it’s been a very long time since this has happened. I had waffled about ordering the kindle version but I’m SO glad I didn’t. The hard cover is just so, so lovely. It goes perfectly with the wonderful writing inside. Thank you Mari and Allen & Unwin (publisher) for going above and beyond! I’m really appreciating it!!

    There’s no way to see it yet in auto preview on Amazon, as today is March 2 (the date it us due to come out).... but we did receive it in the mail today. There are very few pictures (unlike her previous popular book), but we did glance through it and read some portions. It looks great. I think we’ll be really happy with it. It’s also a good quality book, and those seem to be rare nowadays.

    I just love how Mari Andrew thinks about the world. She writes honestly but also manages to find the beauty in painful experiences. The art and doodles add a lovely whimsy and magic to the book. I have found her words/interpretation/advice so helpful that I've already gifted the book to multiple friends and keep rereading various parts of it. It's one of my favorite books.

    I'm currently healing from an illness and an injury, so Mari's recollections of her illness and healing journey were so relatable to me. I felt like I was listening to a friend, and the message was "that was horrible but I made it through," and it gave me hope for my own experience. But that wasn't the only reason I loved this book; most of the narrative just has to do with her observations of and realizations about life and living, written so evocatively that you feel as if you were there with her in Rio, or Greece, or New York City. She has a way of describing things so poignantly and beautifully that she can make you even long for a hot August afternoon in NYC. This book was a balm for my soul, and I'm so sorry I'm finished. I'll definitely be buying this for some of my friends.

    I bought this because I liked Mari Andrew's other book (Am I There Yet) but I found this underwhelming. Nice watercolors but this is quite boring.
  • Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2021
    This book has been a lovely companion this past month. I read a few essays every day, and am amazed by the small crevices of connection and isolation she finds in every day life. You won't look at the world around you in the same way.

    One might be initially drawn to this book for many reasons. It has an unusual shape, a pleasant heft and a rainbow sherbert-colored cover that looks like a painted sunset. It’s appealing, quirky, eye-catching, whimsical and artistic. Beyond the cover, Andrew takes the reader on a meandering, bohemian and autobiographical journey that is equal parts travelogue, diary, pilgrimage and self-discovery arc in a quest for sustainable healing. While Andrew does experience genuinely painful physical and emotional struggles, the angst and spiritual epiphanies often seem somewhat forced. I kept thinking that this book earnestly wants to be “Eat, Pray, Love”. It’s light, but does have moments of thoughtful insight and glittering prose.

    Reviewed in France on April 19, 2021
    I've read her first book "Am I there yet" and liked it so much I couldn't not get this one. As expected, her words somehow always resonate with whatever you're dealing with at the moment. She beautifully and artistically captures the complexity, chaos and beauty of transition and healing, without it being your mainstream self-help book.
    Reading her always puts a smile on my face and makes me want to be nice with every stranger around me!
