Security Is a Thumb and a Blanket

A reissue of a Peanuts classic gift book in its original format featuring Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang as they teach us that comfort can be having someone to lean on, or even just a thumb and blanket.

Security is hearing your mother in the kitchen when you come home from school.
 
First published in 1963, this classic Peanuts book features bits of wisdom on every page about finding comfort in the little things around us. Includes Schulz's original drawings of our favorite characters such as Charlie Brown, Linus Van Pelt, Sally Brown, and more.
 
And while this book won't break bad habits like thumb sucking, it is the perfect gift for anyone who could use a little extra happiness in their lives.  Charles M. Schulz was born in 1922 in Minneapolis, the only child of a housewife and a barber. His interest in comics was encouraged by his father, who loved the funny pages. After army duty, Schulz lettered comic pages for Timeless Topix, and sold seventeen cartoons to The Saturday Evening Post from 1948 to 1950 and a feature, Li'l Folks, to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Peanuts debuted on October 2, 1950, and ran without interruption for the next fifty years. Schulz died on February 12, 2000, and his last strip ran the next day. Peanuts has appeared in 2,600 newspapers in 75 countries.
