The Magic Sketchbook — A Journey Through Feelings and Calm
🖌️ First Adventure in The Awareness Chronicles – A five‑book journey into the heart of who you truly are.
Join Maya as she discovers: 🌈 “I am not the storm. I am the sky.”
In this gentle, story‑based sketchbook, children explore emotions through art, metaphor, and awareness, turning anger, sadness, and worry into friendly characters they can see, understand, and befriend.
📖 What This Book Is
- A warm, illustrated story in which Maya’s magic sketchbook transforms big feelings into scribbles, blobs, and playful “monsters on paper,” all held within the wide, calm sky of awareness.
- The 1st book in The Awareness Chronicles, a five‑book series following Maya from childhood into late adolescence as she learns to meet feelings, thoughts, identities, bodily sensations, and longing with curiosity and calm.
- A bridge between timeless nondual wisdom and modern emotional science, making subtle inner concepts simple through kid‑friendly metaphors like sketchbooks, movie screens, masks, rivers, and compasses.
