I have started and abandoned so many journals over the years, mostly because I had outsized expectations of what journaling is or needs to be. I should mention that I'm a terrible journaler. I loved the idea of a beautiful keepsake journal, one that wasn't just a book of blank pages-it would be personal and intimate and make the process of journaling fun and accessible. I always thought of Brave and Kind as a set, not a trilogy, but I kept thinking of ways to bring the art, color palette, and tone to a new format and ultimately to a broader audience. The first time I actually read Tomorrow I'll be Brave out loud was to a group of college students and several made comments that the book really resonated with them. When I first began speaking publicly about my books Tomorrow I'll be Brave and Tomorrow I'll be Kind, one of the things I heard over and over were how universal and applicable the messages were. Gently encourages empathy, compassion, and consideration.- Kirkus Reviews ‘I’ll dream of all the good that comes / when we all just do our best,’ the text explains–a sentiment that’s hard to rebut. This is a joyous burst of color.- Dave Eggers, Author of Her Right FootĪs an introduction to personality characteristics, beneficial behaviors, and social-emotional skills, this is a solid choice, and fans of the previous volume are likely to embrace this one as well. Jessica Hische, one of the great designers and typographers, now shows herself equally adept at creating gorgeous and immersive images for young readers.
While it derives inspiration from the world of Jessica’s picture books, the messages of the essays and the journaling practices within are universal and applicable at any age. This "all ages" journal can be used by most-from school-aged children to adults. Gratitude journaling is a wonderful and accessible form of journaling.
Complete with thoughtful prompts and exercises, gorgeous illustrations, and intimate essays throughout, Brave, Kind, and Grateful is a tender invitation to explore the many meanings that gratitude can hold. Following up Tomorrow I’ll Be Brave and Tomorrow I’ll Be Kind, New York Times best-selling author Jessica Hische returns with a gratitude journal that asks us to acknowledge our own daily acts of bravery, creativity, and kindness.
