A children's journal for self-discovery

An engaging guided journal for developing children's understanding of themselves and their emotions.

Children love to explore, born with a boundless desire to understand the world around them. While most of the outside world has already been mapped, there's a whole other world that has yet to be discovered, one that's accessible only to them: their own minds.

The Book of Me takes readers on a journey inside themselves, helping them explore their mind, their moods, their imagination, their conscience, and how they determine the course of their lives. Alongside wise and engaging explanations of ideas, each chapter contains a wealth of interactive exercises that together help to create a rich and unique self-portrait. Through writing, drawing, cutting out and colouring in, children can begin to untangle the mysteries of existence and work out who they really are (and who they might become).

Combining psychology, philosophy and sheer fun, The Book of Me is an introduction to the vital art of self-knowledge, showing how it can help us grow into calmer, wiser and more rounded human beings.

The emotion pages opened up conversations we'd never had before — my son pointed at the angry face and told me about a kid at school. It's a guided journal, not a workbook, so there's no pressure to get answers right.

My daughter actually asks to work in this journal before bed, and the prompts have sparked some surprisingly deep conversations about her feelings. The pages are laid out simply enough that she can do them on her own, which is huge for a six-year-old. Even her teacher mentioned she seems more confid

Nicholas B. ★★★★★

My nephew is usually allergic to anything that isn't a screen, but the guided prompts got him actually writing about his feelings without me nagging. It's been three weeks and he still pulls it out on his own, which says everything.
