By: Henry David Thoreau | Illustrator:  Roderick MacIver   
Featuring nearly 100 luminous watercolor illustrations, Thoreau and the Art of Life collects eloquent passages from the writings of the seminal author and philosopher. Drawn mainly from his journals, the short excerpts provide fascinating insight into his thought processes by presenting his raw, unedited feelings about the things that meant the most to him. The book reflects Thoreau’s deep beliefs and ideas about nature, relationships, creativity, spirituality, aging, simplicity, and wisdom. By eloquently expressing his thoughts about life and what gives it value, he leads the reader to a closer examination of life. Thoreau’s work asks us to live our own truths with joy and discipline and to recognize that we live in a universe of extraordinary beauty, mystery, and wonder.

An avid reader of Thoreau, editor and illustrator Roderick MacIver organized the passages by themes: love and friendship; art, creativity, and writing; aging, disease, and death; human society and culture; nature and the human connection to the natural world; and wisdom, truth, solitude, and simplicity. The book includes a chronology and brief biography. Thoreau’s words of wisdom combined with MacIver’s vivid illustrations of the American landscape will resonate with nature enthusiasts and a broad range of readers interested in art, environmentalism, literature, and philosophy.

“It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful, but it is more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts. Every man is tasked to make his life, even in its details, worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and critical hour.”
—Henry David Thoreau

A solid option for managing eczema flare-ups.
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 2 Pack - 8 Ounce
Tubby Todd Eczema Ointment is a thick, soothing balm that really helps calm irritated skin. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and doesn’t have a strong scent. The texture is a bit heavy, so it takes a little work to rub in, but it stays on well and gives noticeable relief.

Miracle Cream
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 2 Pack - 3.5 Ounce & 8 Ounce
This cream has been nothing short of a miracle. Within 24 hours, my infant’s dry, itchy eczema improved dramatically, and their skin became noticeably softer and smoother. I was amazed at how quickly it worked. This is an absolute must-have for new mothers dealing with infant eczema and sensitive skin.

good for my sons severe eczema
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 2 Pack - 3.5 Ounce & 8 Ounce
i was skeptical to purchase because of the price, i didn’t want to spend that much on a product that potentially wouldn’t work. my son has severe eczema so we’ve tried loads of products including prescribed steroid/non steroid creams. Tubby Todd is the most hydrating of them all. don’t get me wrong, his skin wasn’t healed over night & his eczema isn’t “gone” but after a couple weeks of use his skin is healing & he is having less breakouts. i am so glad i gave Tubby Todd a chance.

Great cream, not so great price
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 2 Pack - 3.5 Ounce & 8 Ounce
My one year old has recently started to have eczema in these warmer months and I had heard good things about this ointment so I wanted to give it a try. I grew up with eczema and still have ongoing issues with it and didn’t want her to have to go through the same thing. I also wanted to avoid steroid creams if at all possible so I went straight for “the big guns” and purchased this thinking “oh it has to be the holy grail for this price”. Don’t get me wrong it is a decent eczema cream, but not for the price. You can find much cheaper creams that have the same results. I used this religiously with my daughter and it still did not clear up her eczema. Took her to her pediatrician and ultimately had to use a short term low dose topical steroid that cleared it right up. As far as daily maintenance use I will opt for a less expensive version next time.
