Finding Laughter When Life Gets Tough

Life throws us curveballs, and sometimes, all we can do is try to find the humor in it. That's exactly what inspired Vincent J. Tomeo to write "The Usefulness off Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times." Born from his personal battles with cancer and navigating a pandemic, this collection of poems and writings is a testament to the healing power of laughter. Tomeo shares his unique perspective on everyday moments, transforming challenges into chuckles and demonstrating that a positive outlook can truly make a difference. If you're looking for a companion to help you navigate your own "trying times" with a smile, this book is for you.
