Folded Wisdom book cover

For her entire childhood, Joanna’s father, Bob, had a ritual: wake up at dawn, walk the dog, and sit down at the kitchen table with a blank pad of paper and plenty of colored markers to craft notes for his two children. Over the years, word games and puzzles for five-year-olds morphed into thoughtful guidance and reflections for his teenagers approaching adulthood.

Folded Wisdom is an inspirational testament to the depth of a father’s love for his children, and an intimate look into beautiful, raw, human communication. Within the pages of this book, Joanna Guest shares the best and most insightful notes out of the 4,000 that her father drew for her and her brother Theo every day for over 14 years.

A handwritten note expressing love and gratitude, accompanied by a whimsical drawing of a colorful bouquet of flowers in a vase, placed on a draped table with shoes peeking out from underneath.
A heartfelt handwritten note on a page with a drawing of a sunflower in a pot, signed "dad" with a date: thursday, october 21, 1999. the message expresses a father's unconditional love and acceptance of his son theo.
