For the moments when life feels uncertain and you need a gentle reminder to keep moving forward, Look Up by Rachel Havekost offers words of comfort, encouragement and hope.
Subtitled A Guide for Navigating Life’s Uncertainties and Finding Your Horizon, this thoughtful collection brings together poetry and short love notes for navigating the messy, changing seasons of being human. Rather than presenting a step-by-step self-help program, Havekost describes the book as something more like a companion—a collection to turn to when you're feeling stuck, grieving, healing, recovering or facing an unfamiliar new beginning.
Across its pages, Look Up explores the journey through seven sections, moving from holding on and opening the heart through to roaming free, integrating, zooming out, opening the mind and navigating forward.
Tender and reassuring, it's a beautiful book to keep close during periods of change or to give someone who could use a little encouragement and a reminder to look toward the horizon.

Why You’ll Love It
Look Up doesn't ask the reader to have everything figured out. Its short, accessible pieces make it something you can open when you need a few reassuring words, whether you're working through a difficult chapter or simply looking for a little perspective.
It also makes a meaningful alternative to a traditional greeting card—something the recipient can return to whenever they need encouragement.
Perfect For
A thoughtful addition to thinking-of-you gifts, care packages, friendship boxes and self-care hampers, particularly for someone experiencing a life transition, grief, separation, recovery, uncertainty or a new beginning. It can also be enjoyed simply as an uplifting poetry collection for quiet moments of reflection.
