About the book

A New York Times bestseller!

During the coldest season, when the world feels scary—what do you remember about being warm? Baked potatoes. Trust. A kettle on the stove. Blankets. A smile. And, most of all, the reassurance that you belong. In his powerful and moving poem, featuring illustrations from thirteen extraordinary artists, bestselling author and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Neil Gaiman draws together many different memories to answer the question, what do you need to be warm?

Beautifully written and illustrated

Beautifully written, wonderfully illustrated, and for an excellent cause.

A beautiful reminder

I’ve purchased multiple copies of this book to give to different family members as well as myself. I’ve loved the poem for a long time, and I really like that each page of this book is done by a different artist, so you see multiple styles. I’m a Neil Gaiman fan forever. Highly recommend:)

A strong dose of the warm-fuzzies

Lovely for adults and kids. Heartwarming. And it’s for a good cause! Buy it—you’ll be glad you did.
