Description
My Earth Journey is a beautifully illustrated picture book that blends emotional healing with the magic of the natural world. When a young girl’s heart is broken by a friend, she escapes to the quiet of a rock garden—and is swept into an unforgettable dreamscape guided by playful otters, a soaring hawk, and a wise hare. Along the way, she discovers the soothing power of plants like lavender and mugwort, and the deep comfort that comes from reconnecting with Earth and its creatures.
Rooted in herbal wisdom and spirit animal symbolism, this gentle, imaginative story offers children a path through sadness and back to joy. It’s a perfect tool for parents, educators, and caregivers who want to nurture emotional resilience, mindfulness, and a deeper love for the natural world.
Advance Praise
“The messages contained in this gorgeously illustrated book are as ancient and wise as the Earth that surrounds us. The young girl’s dream odyssey—with playful otters, a visionary hawk, and a nourishing hare—mends her wounded heart. My Earth Journey provides the room to dream and the room to let the imagination soar. I cannot think of a better story to inspire children today.” —
—Jennifer Elwell Comeau, Certified Forest Therapy Guide and author of The Inside of ME.
“This healed a part of my heart. The illustrations are exquisite. I wish I had this story to read when I was in elementary school.“
—Shri A. Verrill, principal at Sunrise Ecological
Beautiful illustrations take readers on a journey from the grief of lost friendship into the enchanting world of nature. Making friends with otters, a hawk and a rabbit, the main characterʼs heartbreak is softened with wonder. At the end of the story, the author gifts readers with a little information about some of the plants and animals encountered by the main character. This book will delight children.—Ellen Dee Davidson, award winning author of Wind and The Miracle Forest
