Description

A unique and gentle art-therapy-based book to help children understand their happiness through creativity

Picturing My Happiness encourages children to become 'happiness artists', using their amazing minds to get to know and show their happiness. Children are asked to think about the colours, textures and shapes that express the look and feel of happiness to them. Children consider and recognise how they act when they're happy and how they can 'speak' about happiness through their art. At the end of the book, children have a set of self-made resources to use again and again when they need a reminder of their creative coping skills.

All the Colours of Me is a series of books written by Art Psychotherapist and Mindfulness Practitioner, Anna Shepherd. The series addresses key emotions in the life of a child through safe and gentle creative engagement. Each books includes a guide for adults, a glossary of key terms and further resources for supporting children's emotional health, for age 5 and up.

She has been an Art Psychotherapist for many, many years working in the voluntary sector, social services and in private practice. She is also a Mindfulness Practitioner.

Alicia Mas (Illustrator)

Alicia Mas is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Elche - Spain's palm tree city. She is passionate about psychology and loves all that has to do with education and children; that's why, after studying fine arts in Valencia, she went on to complete a master's degree in teaching.

She lived in London for a while, where she started her career as an illustrator and graphic designer in 2013.

She had worked at different advertising agencies when things changed. Her idea for a children's book was accepted and published by a recognized Spanish publisher. More projects and opportunities arose, allowing her to become a full-time illustrator focused on children's illustration projects today.
