A gentle first step into the wonderful world of emotions, self-esteem, and personal growth.
Advice from My Future Self is a carefully crafted picture book for girls aged 5 to 10 who are just beginning to discover words like courage, confidence, friendship, and kindness.
Designed to be read in one sitting as a bedtime story, even by parents to children about to start primary school, this book offers a simple yet meaningful experience.
It's not a manual, nor is it a long or complicated treatise. It's a gentle, concise, and clear illustrated guide, made to be read lightly but leave a lasting impact.
Each double page delivers one central idea, explained in simple words to avoid overwhelming the young reader with too many concepts at once. Alongside the text is a thematic, evocative illustration that helps visualize and internalize the message.
