“Why do you look so happy?” people have been asking Notker Wolf for years, now. So he set out to answer them in this lively book. A relationship with God, he explains, can feel like falling in love, when it seems that butterflies are fluttering around in your stomach. Then, beauty, joy, belief, trust, and forgiveness are his subjects, all in an effort to show his readers how it is possible to have wings of faith – and fly! “Notker Wolf is a gift to the monastic community, the Church and the world in Christ. This book brings out the best of his multifaceted spiritual and natural gifts. I recommend it highly.” —John Michael Talbot “This insightful book can speak to the emptiness we all experience at times and perk us up so that we take notice of what really matters. By reading and reflecting on these ideas, you might just discover the beauty and fullness a faith perspective has to offer. You may even learn to soar!” —Sister Judith Ann Heble, OSB, Moderator, Communio Internationalis Benedictinarum, Sacred Heart Monastery, Lisle, Illinois

Growing up in a multigenerational, multicultural home in Lahore, Pakistan, where her family's Muslim traditions are filled with food, rituals, and love, Shahzia is a tomboy who loves skateboarding, biking, swimming, and flying her kite. She also loves stories of all kinds and is always surrounded by books. At the Catholic school she attends, she studies Western literature, and at home, her father regales her and her siblings with fantastical tales from a Russian storybook on animals. Shahzia's love for books leads to a fascination with illustrations, like the ones she sees in illuminated manuscripts and South Asian miniature portraits, and she discovers a talent for drawing. She soon realizes that making art is much like learning a new language--it requires practice and hard work, but it gives her a new tool to express herself. Through art, Shahzia is able to create the different worlds she reads about, using her imagination to take her beyond the walls of the home she grows up in. Written by artist Shahzia Sikander herself and featuring a new painting created especially for the book alongside artwork from her private archive and MoMA's collection, Shahzia: My Life as an Artist is a colorful introduction to a multicultural perspective that will inspire young readers to use art and imagination to explore new worlds.
