Ice cream. Water Fights. Dreams of Flying. Could you list everything that makes life worth living? In Every Brilliant Thing, our hero begins a list to save their mother and ends up saving themselves in a beautiful story of finding joy in the mundane, and gratitude for life’s simple pleasures.

Every Brilliant Thing lets us view life’s joys through the lens of one person’s sometimes joyful, sometimes tragic, often difficult, always human quest to find meaning, gratitude, and purpose through it all. The story celebrates resilience, perseverance, and the power of human connection against all odds, and asks us to consider one essential question: What makes life worth living?
