I thought it would be useful to include a reference to thatBy KateI put off writing this review because I am a therapist; work with children; and planned to use the book as a supplement to group work. I thought it would be useful to include a reference to that; so I held off. The problem is the book never made it to work. I opened it; got sucked into making a geometry tree; and am still working through the rest of the book several weeks later.In my profession I am so busy looking out for other peoplesrsquo; feelings I sometimes donrsquo;t have time to feel my own. Self-care is a constantly evolving theme in my life; so something that allows me to quiet my mind; inspire my creativity; and give me a few minutes to focus on myself is a priceless gift. I could write more but would rather go work on my fingerprint self-portrait while I wind down for the evening. Apparently when I order another copy to use at work I should include one for my adult groups as wellhellip;hellip;1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy J.
