My 52 Lists Project: Journaling Inspiration for Kids!
Great tool to get to know, inspire and help children what hobbies they list, bucket lists, feelings, emotions and projects. I really think it would be beneficial to use for teacher's with young students.

I am reviewing a copy of My 52 Lists Project: Journaling Inspiration for Kids through Sasquatch Books and Netgalley:


In this book, it is reminded that kids are able to express themselves, includes are lists that help them do just that as it helps them explore interests and hobbies, and learn more about themselves. This beautiful hard-Covered guided journal can be started anytime, and can either be a safe space for kids to fill out on their own, or can be done with a loved one to spark great conversations.



The simple prompts will help kids be able to express themselves while they brush up on writing skills, as well as helping them to build social and emotional intelligence.




The book includes prompts, as well as photography to go along with those prompts , it also includes a sticker sheet.




If you have a middle grade child in your life that has expressed interest in being able to express themselves in journal form, I highly recommend My 52 Lists Project: Journaling Inspiration for a kids.



I give My 52 List Project five out of five star!


Happy Reading!

This was cute, would be a fun journal for kids (and adults too), especially for ones who don't know how to journal. The stickers are super cute too!

Thank you to NetGalley and Sasquatch Books for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book is definitely not made to be used digitally, but it is a really fun concept and full of great ideas! Students who have trouble journaling will find the concept of a weekly list to be less intimidating and just as good for the soul.

My 52 Lists Project: Journaling Inspiration for Kids! would make a wonderful gift for any child. Once filled in, it would make a beautiful keepsake to look back on years later.

The pictures are engaging and full of ideas to get kids (and adults) thinking!

This book will prove to be very useful in my work with students that struggle to put words on paper. Sometimes they have ideas but can't organize them into sentences. Other times they can't think of anything to write. Many journals that I have looked at require more writing then they feel capable of. On the other hand most of this journal asks students only to make lists or circle choices. I can't wait to use it as a way to encourage students to slowly take risks in their writing. These lists can easily be expanded on when students are ready. There are a wide variety of topics to choose from which means I will be able to pick and choose those that work best for each student.

This is a special book which will inspire children and and students to write their personal thoughts, feelings and worries. There are 52 lists with lots of space to write ideas, hopes, dreams. Everything.
It is ideal for using for mindfulness. The journal is a book to keep always as it will capture feelings of the times written. It will be a book to look back on, and see how much the writer has grown and check and see if they have achieved some of their goals, or see how they may have changed. A great present for anyone.

A beautiful book to inspire children or even adults to go within and find what makes them happy, dreams and goals and more.

I LOVE THIS BOOK and have already preordered it. I think journaling is important for adults and could also be good for kids. So many of them are reluctant writers, but this is something that they could easily do. It woukd be fun to have them do at a certain age and then keep for them later in life to see how they have changed.

Kids 4th grade up, maybe 3rd grade, will find this journal book inspiring. It's nice that it had prompts to encourage children to write. It would be fun if a child kept it as sort of a time capsule to themselves in the future! Sort of like writing a letter to oneself in the future! It can make a fun downtime project for hot afternoons during the summer.
Might make a cool gift for the right child.

This is a great book for kids to get some journaling inspiration from! As a lover of lists myself I think it will be fun to see what my kids write down for each of their lists!

First I'd like to give a big thank you to netgalley, Moorea Seal and publishers for providing an advance e-copy for me to review honestly.

My 52 list Project: Journaling Inspiration for Kids is a wonderful idea. There are beautiful themed pages and colors throughout that are pleasing to the eye and are likely to make filling this book much more appealing. The list itself is also brilliant; Having kids take a moment to think about what they would tell themselves when they were five in one prompt, then looking ahead to what jobs they'd like to try and what they want their life to look like in their 20's. Some prompts don't require writing at all and instead have a fun and unique idea to inspire your child.

The title of this book gears itself towards children but honestly anyone looking for a guided journal will benefit from My 52 lists project. Anyone who journals or wants to start journaling should know how necessary guided journals can be at times and urging your children or yourself to fill this out year after year is a great way to chronicle the essence of their/your life giving you a way to reflect on how you've changed and grown and that is something beneficial to anyone at any stage of life.

Personally I will be purchasing my own physical copy of this journal as soon as it hits shelves so I can join the prompted journal keepers club and I'll be buying one for my daughter as well! I can't wait.

This is certainly a 5 star project

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this arc!

It is currently the end of the school year (three more days!) but I am looking forward to planning for next year! I found this book a fun idea for kids to write each day, without too much pressure. A lot of these prompts also provide opportunities for students to connect over commonalities/share recommendations. I will definitely be borrowing some of these ideas, and loved the formatting (ex. circle ideas/values that are important to you, list the animals that remind you of each of these feelings -- wise, embarrassed, sneaky, loving, etc). I would purchase a copy to encourage reluctant writers/supporting penmanship through just the action of practicing writing.

Such a clever idea! From the light-hearted to goal setting, these lists spark introspection and self awareness. Some of these would create great conversations between kids and parents…the parents could share their answers, as well.

My 52 Lists Project: Journaling Inspiration for Kids! is a fantastic tool for engaging kids in regular writing. I will use it in my classroom for low-stakes writing time. It is great for reflection (for both adults and kids) and makes it fun to think about all kinds of possibilities. The lists plant great seeds for future stories, and I can't wait to add this to my classroom library!

This self guided journal is perfect for school aged children. Even adults can complete the prompts. My kids and I worked on a few prompts and it was so fun to see their answers. They photographs and illustrations complement the prompts. Although we received an ebook, the “stickers” were so cute.
