“I learned about The Power of Art through my own healing journey. When I first started going to therapy, I would find myself unable to express what I was feeling. It was as if I simply couldn’t find the words. My therapist introduced art during our sessions and that made all the difference.”—Veronika Childs
“Art is such a powerful tool for expression. I am honored and excited to share this tool with our children.”—Veronika Childs
“I love this book as both a mom and an educator. Children will be able to help access their feelings through art, and that is always a good start.”—Abbie Caruso, Elementary School Teacher
“As a therapist and a mother of a child whose emotions are sometimes hard for her to express, a book like this is just what I’ve been looking for. It allows her to express her emotions in a different way than the traditional and will allow her to feel like they are being heard. As a therapist, I can’t wait to recommend it to my clients and their parents. I think this book will be a game-changer for kids who need a non-traditional way to express emotions.”—Laura Edwards Hasse, LCPC.
“Emotions can be overwhelming for kids, but this book teaches how to handle them and gives them a healthy outlet through art! Highly recommend for any parents with kids.”—Kate Reyes.
“Art can permeate the very deepest part of us, where no words exist.” ―Eileen Miller
“I make art when I can’t gather the words to say.” ― Nikki Rowe
“The medical profession has come a long way in recognizing the healing benefits of art. My hope is that someday the arts will be considered as essential in everyone’s lives as breathing fresh air, eating clean foods, and engaging in physical exercise.” ―Renée Phillips.
