Nora graduated from art school in Lithuania and completed a bachelor’s degree in fine photography at the Vilnius Design College. Ever since she can remember, she has been fascinated by children’s storybooks, especially creative illustrations. She creates whimsical characters with big round eyes and unique personalities. For her, watercolor is the ideal medium fulfilling her sense of creative satisfaction. Nora creates intricate patterns and details with an ink pen working to expose her own dreamlike version of reality. You can find her works at www.norvile.com.
The ultimate side-kick to Hey Warrior and Ups and Downs. Use it to guide you through your ups downs, and everything in between.
Packed with practical activities, powerful strategies, and clever little life skills, this workbook will help kids wrangle anxiety, build their brave, and navigate their big feelings (waaay easier when they have a guide!).
Its playful. Its practical. Its got warmth, humour, and loads of heart.
Best of all, it will guide kids through their ups, downs, and everything in between, all while supporting them to explore their feelings, build self-awareness, and find what works for them.
The more kids can understand why they feel the way they do, and how those feelings influence what they do, the more they can meet those feelings with compassion, confidence, and clarity.
Because all kids can do amazing things with the right information. (But you already knew that!)
