Immersive Reading Experience
Tia will come to your school or organization for to read the story aloud using a screen that will show the lovely watercolor illustrations on each page as the book is being read. This has been shown to captivate audiences both young and old alike! Children as young as 6 immerse themselves in the comforting warmth, colors and heart of Mara's journey. This can be followed with Q&A, book signing and/or age-appropriate activity from the companion workbook.
Companion Workbook ActivitiesOne or two activities from the 'Caring All Around Me' companion Workbook can be completed in about 30min per activity. It's been amazing to watch youth of all ages and backgrounds feel equally drawn both the story and the activities. Below are some pictures showing high school youth doing the therapeutic watercolors exercise. Other examples of prompts from past activities include Turning Un-caring Messages into Caring Ones; Choices; Draw your Safe Place; Friendship; Community; and Caring Basket of Light.
