You Are Beautiful Lined Journal

With their vibrant colors and alluring scents, flowers inspire us to think about who we are and what we love the most. Best of all, flowers make us feel so happy when we see them!

This personal journal is filled with whimsical flower doodles, designed to stimulate your imagination. Made with archival-quality, acid-free 200-year paper, it's perfect for pen or pencil.

Especially for tweens ages 8-12, Notebook Doodles Flowers Journal offers lined page layouts with plenty of room for expressive writing. Beautifully illustrated and made of the highest quality materials, this hardcover journal includes gorgeous end papers.

An experienced book illustrator and designer, author Jess Volinski creates illustrations and surface designs for publishing, fashion, tableware, and stationery. Her characteristically vibrant designs are ideal for coloring books, and she is the talented artist behind Notebook Doodles Super Cute, Notebook Doodles Go Girl!, and the entire series of Notebook Doodles books for tweens.

Jess has recently launched this line of journals that helps tween girls develop their self confidence. Having a little girl herself, she knows the importance that positive words can have on a developing mind. "Expressing oneself through journaling and art helps build internal confidence and inner strength that girls can rely on," Volinski says.

Her journal Notebook Doodles Flowers Journal (aka You Are Beautiful) was created with her daughter and other tweens in mind.

This journal pops with color and is intended to stir imagination, boost self-esteem, and build confidence. You Are Beautiful is a blank journal, offering the perfect amount of space to let a child's imagination take flight, and to aid in the steady flow of writing and creativity.

Volinski has seen first-hand the importance that writing and art can have on a child. She frequently visits schools to give art lessons. The change in attitude among the children is palpable: The room jumps to life with energy! "Children feel free to voice their opinions and speak up once we begin our art sessions," she says. "Art is a building block for development." This journal is intended to do just that—help children develop.

With plenty of space to write and big, colorful floral designs to inspire, the goal is to build children up through art. Think of these pages as your own creative space to explore and play, have fun, and, most important, be yourself!
