Do you want to keep a journal but don’t know where to start? Get inspired with 60 interactive writing prompts and craft how-tos to expand your imagination and stimulate your creativity. 

Using words, drawing, collage, and observation-based list-making, award-winning author Emily K. Neuburger highlights the many paths into journaling. Every spread invites a new approach to filling a page, from making a visual map of a day-in-my-life to turning random splotches into quirky characters for a playful story. It’s the perfect companion to all those blank books and an ideal launchpad to explore creative self-expression and develop an imaginative voice — for anyone ages 10 to 100!

  • “A visually adorable and joyful book full of inspiring and creative ideas for seeing, gathering, and experimenting. You will stay motivated to create for a long time!” — Jennifer Orkin Lewis, artist and illustrator at augustwren.com

    “A great roadmap for getting started with journaling. These thoughtful writing prompts and playful art activities will inspire and engage!” — Susan Schwake, best-selling author of Art Lab for Kids series

    “My family’s favorite kind of any-age book. These friendly, fabulous, and imaginative prompts are great for journaling but they’re also approachably small, stand-alone creative projects. You’ll soon be busy charting your world of favorite things and places and words and dreams.” — Catherine Newman, author of Waiting for Birdy and Catastrophic Happiness

    “I dare you to make it halfway through this book without running to grab your journal and a pencil! This trove of inspiring and practical ideas encourages us to push our creative boundaries and revel in the play between words and pictures.” — Alexandra Kennedy, executive director of the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art

    “Transcendent! At a time when all of us — children and adults — are deluged with pixels and information, Emily Neuburger inspires us to use a journal to notice, feel, connect, and reflect.” — Sam Intrator, professor of education and child study at Smith College
