A wandering skeleton reflects on what matters

Mr Skelly’s journey moves through changing landscapes and experiences of joy, loss, grief, and love as he seeks family and a safe home. Along the way, the book frames everyday life through questions of what to hold onto, what to release, and how to live with what cannot be controlled. Hand-painted imagery accompanies these reflections on fragility, connection, and the present moment. Its central idea—that a meaningful life can emerge through both what is lost and what is found—gives the illustrated journey its shape.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in illustrated, reflective books about life’s challenges and meaning
  • Readers drawn to themes of grief, love, family, and letting go
  • Those looking for inspirational reflections on appreciating the present

Book overview

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In this poignant, affirming, and beautifully illustrated journey, social media sensation Mr Skelly explores the ups and downs of existence and discovers the makings of a meaningful life.

"How lucky am I, to have lost what I wanted, to find what I deserved"

Join beloved Mr Skelly, a gentle skeleton wandering across lush landscapes and treacherous terrains, through times of joy, loss, grief and love, to find his family and - ultimately - a safe home.

Along the way, he discovers life lessons which help us remember what to hold onto and what to let go of, to realise how lucky we all are, because this beautifully fragile present moment is truly all we have.

Mr Skelly invites you to shift your lens, make peace with what you can't control, appreciate what can't be seen, and live your life to the utmost of your ability.

How Lucky Am I is a simple reminder that, in the end, we're all made of the same bones. With gentle words and hand-painted imagery, this book hopes to shine a softer light on what's often overlooked - and maybe, in doing so, help us remember what truly matters.
