“You are the artist and the art.” – Bryant H. McGill
This book is, well... not a book at all, really. It's more like a studio. Your tween's own private, judge-free, nag-free, no-rules creative spot. A place where they celebrate their story... through art!
“Artistic expression is unique to the individual – just like a thumbprint! So every piece of art in this journal mirrors your child's personality and holds a unique message about how they relate to the world. It is a space to process, interpret, integrate and celebrate their true selves.” – Chantel Griesel (Occupational Therapist)
- 52 intentional art prompts, professionally curated for self-expression, emotional growth and reflection
- For 6 – 13 year olds

The My Story Art Journal is part of the My Story Emotional Growth Journal series, developed by an Art Therapist, an Occupational Therapist and a Children's Book Author. Every prompt aims to either calm, support, or invite your child to engage in their own life story. No art expertise needed – just rock up on the page, as you are!
What kids say:
“I like art, but I'm not so good at drawing. So I did the collage pages and the mandala pages first. I love them! I take my art journal to school for when I'm done with my work. It beats doing teacher's sudoku and word-search!” – Sebastian (11)
“My favourites are the animal pages. I enjoy thinking about what animal I am like. I think I am a cat. But also maybe a dolphin.” – Noxi (8)
