A unique and gentle art-therapy-based book to help children understand their gratitude through creativity

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A unique and gentle art-therapy-based book to help children understand their gratitude through creativity.

Picturing My Gratitude encourages children to become 'gratitude artists', using their amazing minds to get to know and show their gratitude. Children are asked to think about the colours, textures, and shapes that express the look and feel of gratitude to them. They consider and recognise how they act when they're grateful and how they can 'speak' about gratitude through their art. At the end of the book, children have a set of self-made resources to use again and again when they need a reminder of their creative coping skills.

All the Colours of Me is a series of books written by Art Psychotherapist and Mindfulness Practitioner, Anna Shepherd. The series addresses key emotions in the life of a child through safe and gentle creative engagement. Each book includes a guide for adults, a glossary of key terms, and further resources for supporting children's emotional health, suitable for ages 5 and up.

About the Author

Anna Shepherd (Author)

Anna lives in Edinburgh near the sea with her partner and 2 children (her biggest teachers). She has been an Art Psychotherapist for many, many years working in the voluntary sector, social services and in private practice. She is also a Mindfulness Practitioner. Anna loves to paint and sit by the sea with a big cup of tea!

Alicia Mas (Illustrator)

Alicia Mas is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Elche - Spain's palm tree city. She is passionate about psychology and loves all that has to do with education and children; that's why, after studying fine arts in Valencia, she went on to complete a master's degree in teaching.

She lived in London for a while, where she started her career as an illustrator and graphic designer in 2013.

She had worked at different advertising agencies when things changed. Her idea for a children's book was accepted and published by a recognized Spanish publisher. More projects and opportunities arose, allowing her to become a full-time illustrator focused on children's illustration projects today.
