Every Brilliant Thing

“Ice cream.” “Water fights.” “Peeing in the ocean and nobody knows.” A child’s handwritten list of ‘every brilliant thing in the world’ to cheer up a despondent mother becomes a surprisingly funny and poignant ode to humanity. Our story takes our audience on a transcendent and tender coming-of-age journey that reminds us to pay attention to life’s smallest joys—and to each other- while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity to find joy in all the little things.
