    Iowa Stater Book Club: Trent Preszler talks "Little and Often"

    Trent Preszler had an epiphany to make something with the tools he inherited from his father. With no experience in woodcraft, driven only by blind will, he built a canoe. Working with his hands tested Preszler’s limits but ultimately offered him a different per­spective on life, and the means to change it. "Little and Often," a USA Today Best Book of 2021, delivers a moving reflection on bereavement and inheritance through a profound father-and-son odyssey, resonating with Robert Pirsig’s classic "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance."
