Quotes from the Author: “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
