Exciting news from Cloveberry Cove! 🎉 You might remember me mentioning my upcoming social-emotional journal for kids. Well, after some thought, I've decided on a new title that truly captures its essence: "My Little Corner of the World: Social-Emotional Journal"!

This title reflects how this journal becomes a personal space, a unique "corner" where your child can explore their own inner world of feelings and connections – something only they can fill with their thoughts, drawings, and discoveries.

And the wait is almost over! "My Little Corner of the World" will be available for order TOMORROW! To keep things simple and avoid any confusion, I've added it to the existing order form alongside "The Whispering Willow and the Worry Bugs" and the Cloveberry Cove Coloring Book.

Just a heads-up: the order form has been
temporarily down since 11 AM this morning while I've been busy updating and fixing the codes to include the new journal. But don't worry, it will be back up and running bright and early tomorrow morning, ready for your orders!

"My Little Corner of the World" is designed for children aged 6-9 and is packed with engaging activities and simple prompts focused on:
• Understanding and naming different emotions.
• Learning helpful actions to take when experiencing those feelings.
• Developing important social skills.
• Building social awareness and understanding different perspectives.
• Exploring the power of kindness.
• Featuring fun journaling pages, a word search, and a maze!

This journal isn't just for kids – it can also be a wonderful opportunity for you, the parent, to connect with your child as they explore their inner world. Working through the activities together can spark meaningful conversations and deepen your understanding of their thoughts and feelings.

Get ready to discover your child's unique little corner of the world! The order form will be live tomorrow morning, and I’ll share a post to remind you! Thank you for your continued support of Cloveberry Cove Stories! ❤️

Hey Cloveberry Cove Crew! 👋 I'm working on a new project that I'm really passionate about and wanted to get your thoughts!

As you know, my newly released book, "The Whispering Willow and the Worry Bugs," focuses on the important social-emotional aspects of kindness and self-acceptance. 🥰 Building on those themes, I've been developing a social emotional learning journal for kids!

How many of you think a journal like this could be a valuable tool for our kiddos? 🤔 It would be packed with activities like crosswords, mazes, problem-solving scenarios, emotion labeling, "action plans" for big feelings, and even activities focused on social awareness – all designed to help them understand their inner world and how they connect with others, expanding on the messages in "The Whispering Willow."

Learning about our emotions and how to navigate different experiences is such a crucial part of growing up. This journal aims to make that learning fun and accessible!

Would this be something you think your kids (or grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc.) would benefit from, especially as a companion to the book's themes?

Let me know in the comments below if this sounds like something you'd be interested in seeing released!

Your feedback is so important! ❤️
