The Days Before I Met You: A Creative Space Honoring the Birth of a Parent

I am so excited to share my latest passion project with you: a participatory perinatal picture book called The Days Before I Met You

The back story: I originally wrote and illustrated it during my first pregnancy in 2017. At the time it was an intuitive use of art and narrative therapy that helped to channel my growing pains into something tangible during a difficult third trimester.

And now, I'm ready to share it with the world so it may provide a helpful resource for other first-time expectant parents in their own family building adventures. It may also be helpful as a gift for a new mother, along with some basic art supplies like colored pencils or markers to help them process all of the massive transitions happening within and around them. You can check out the book, purchase, and review it on Amazon here: https://a.co/d/7TM6wrz

​Enjoy!
