by Danica Gim
From Danica Gim — Dutch poet and illustrator with 245,000 Instagram followers, whose Art Nouveau and ancient Greek-influenced illustrations of women in all their forms have been reposted by Britney Spears, Dove Cameron, and Doutzen Kroes. "The Moon Knows All My Secrets" is her complete collection — the full flowering of the world she has been building since her first post.
There are things you carry that you haven't told anyone. The way love felt before it ended. The version of yourself you're still mourning. The hope you keep lit in secret because you don't know if it's safe to say out loud yet. This book holds those things. Gim's prose and illustrations move through the emotional territory that made her Instagram famous: love, heartbreak, and the long, uneven work of starting over — rendered in her signature style, where the dreaming and the grieving and the becoming are inseparable from the women she draws to accompany them.
The title is not a metaphor. The moon in Gim's world is a keeper
