questions

Before you order

What is actually inside?
Fifty-six pages across six discoveries. Full-page coloring scenes alternate with activity pages — word searches, matching, sequencing, spot-the-difference — alongside affirmations to read aloud and space to draw and write.
How large are the pages?
8.5 × 11 inches, the size of a sheet of school paper. Large enough for a small hand with a fat crayon, and roomy enough that the writing lines are easy to use.
Do the discoveries have to be done in order?
No. The order builds from knowing yourself outward to caring for the world, but every page stands on its own. Children tend to flip until something catches them, which is fine.
What will my child need?
Crayons, colored pencils or markers, and a pencil for the writing spaces. Nothing else.
Is there a digital version?
Yes. The paperback is on Amazon, and the same book is available as an instant-download PDF you can print at home as often as you like. The PDF also comes with a printable completion certificate.
