Hi there I'm Keb Mo and this is my book Since you're reading it I guess this is probably your book but what I mean is that I wrote it I wanted to tell you about this book because it is different from some other books you may have read before This book started as a song The song is also called Life Is Beautiful and you can listen to me sing it in a lot of places I hope you do In fact you might like listening to it while you read the book that way it is like we are reading it together Whether you listen to my song or read my book or both I wanted to tell you why I wrote it I really do think life is beautiful I think it is beautiful in a whole lot of ways but the most important one the thing that really matters most in this big beautiful world is love So I wanted to write a song that says that and shares that I hope you read this book and sing my song with the people you love And I hope that someday you write about what matters to you Maybe I'll get to read it Until then I hope your life is beautiful Love Keb
