Daily journal for children aged 9-12 to promote self-knowledge, confidence, happiness and emotional well-being.Children love to explore, born with a boundless desire to understand the world around them. While most of the outside world has already been mapped, there's a whole other world that has yet to be discovered, one that's accessible only to them: their own [...] Book of Me is a guided journal promoting self-discovery in children aged 9 to 12. With beautiful illustrations by Ben Javens throughout, the book takes readers on a journey inside themselves, helping them explore their mind, moods, imagination, bodies, and relationships.Written in a warm and engaging tone, The Book of Me helps kids create a rich and unique self-portrait. There's nothing to get right or wrong here -- just space for children to think, wonder, and discover more about themselves, through fun exercises including:

• 
  Keeping a mood diary
  Writing down what emotion a song makes us feel
  Making up new words and their definitions
  Channeling Picasso by drawing an object or person in a new way
  Using shared knowledge to make friends
  

By writing, drawing, cutting out, and colouring in, children can begin to untangle the mysteries of existence and work out who they really are -- and who they might become.Combining psychology, philosophy, and sheer fun, The Book of Me introduces children to the vital art of self-knowledge, showing how it can help us grow into calmer, wiser, and more rounded human beings.A brilliant birthday, back-to-school or "just because" gift for any curious, thoughtful 9-12 year old ready to get to know themselves a little better.
