This guided journal for creative self-expression allows teens to explore emotions, create art, and envision life’s possibilities.

Dream Up Now offers a safe space for creative self-expression of all emotions, both positive and negative. Every emotion is valid in this journal, and teens are encouraged to move from dark (negative) to light (positive) emotions. For example: 

  • From tired to fired up
  • From confused to confident
  • From jealous to appreciative
  • From loss to peace

“Creativity, Victory, Heart, Discipline—four words that mean so much to the main character and a common thread that the author weaves throughout.

This is an entertaining tale about love and family and how it looks a little different for everyone.”
