Paul’s Recent Updates

Little Bear Dreams by Paul Schmid
"Highly requested at bedtime"
Little Bear Dreams by Paul Schmid
"I love the simplicity of this book. Only a couple of words per page and the basic colour palette of white and blue. Super sweet and just beautiful."
Little Bear Dreams by Paul Schmid
"This one really pulled the heartstrings.
Simple illustrations and yet so much emotion.
Little bear with his hot chocolate is so sweet.
🐻‍❄️"
Paul Schmid and 1 other person liked Lrhodes's review of Perfectly Percy:
Perfectly Percy by Paul Schmid
"The story of Percy who takes his time to figure out a solution to a problem. It shows follow through and grit."
Paul Schmid liked a quote
Journey To Ixtlan by Carlos Castaneda
“He said that I was a man. And like any man I deserved everything that was a man’s lot—joy, pain, sadness and struggle—and that the nature of one’s acts was unimportant as long as one acted as a warrior. Lowering his voice to almost a whisper, he said that if I really felt that my spirit was distorted I should simply fix it—purge it, make it perfect—because there was no other task in our entire lives which was more worthwhile. Not to fix the spirit was to seek death, and that was the same as to seek nothing, since death was going to overtake us regardless of anything. He paused for a long time and then he said with a tone of profound conviction, “To seek the perfection of the warrior’s spirit is the only task worthy of our manhood.”
