Inside
SMALL WONDERS
A glimpse into the pages

In our busy and stress-filled world, it’s easy to miss the smaller moments that can provide happiness and fulfilment. Small Wonders is an invitation to slow down and savor the minor miracles of everyday living.
With insightful prose, evocative poetry, and dreamy photography, Jennifer Shoop celebrates the often-overlooked details that connect us to each other and to the world around us.
Small Wonders is a collection of essays, musings, and list poetry on the art of paying attention. Organized around themes familiar to readers of the Magpie blog—the dance of motherhood, inheritances and intimacies, the natural world, and the wide world of language—it is an extension of the writing Jen has become known for.
