More about
the book
The kids (and canines) of Peanuts know a thing or two about how tough life can be. But with a philosophical approach to the trials and tribulations of growing up – from not being able to talk to the girl you like, to having an idiot brother who won’t take your flawless advice – they’re never short of the small comforts, and the great wisdom, that can help us get by.
I grew up with Peanuts. But I never outgrew it . . . For decades, it was our own daily security blanket. That's what makes Peanuts an American treasure
President Barack Obama

Charles Schulz's brilliant, angst-ridden, truly funny, fifty-year-long masterpiece of joy and heartbreak
Matt Groening
Charles Schulz was, plain and simple, a great artist and philosopher . . . But most importantly, he teaches all ages that if you can learn to laugh at the things that cause you the most pain you will be the strongest of all. Peanuts: a real way of life
