Abstract

“You Are Life Itself” is a picture book dummy designed to heal the inner child and to help readers process mental health and trauma issues. The book can be for adults, for children, and for adults and children to read together. It was written to speak to the more complex emotions of adults while remaining simple and understandable for a younger audience. The artwork is made with a limited color palette using watercolor and acrylic. With each piece, concepts of layering and texture were carefully considered.

[A transcript to the images in the book is included as a supplementary attachment at the bottom of this page.]
