Magnificent Marvelous Me!

After the success of both Chill & Spill and Oodles of Doodles, Steffanie began researching to find out what other needs she might be able meet through Art with Heart’s unique and therapeutic outreach to kids in crisis. The need that kept rising to the top was the under-served siblings of seriously ill or special needs children. After conducting a survey with siblings of all ages to find out what types of issues they were facing, and much research with experts on the subject, Magnificent Marvelous Me! was born.

The book is dedicated to Katie, Hallie’s sister, who inspired the Oodles of Doodles book.

47 different illustrators from all over the world contributed their time and talent to help make this project both meaningful and visually exciting for the children. Because each activity is based in therapy, it will provide sibs with a safe place to express themselves amidst the difficulties and uncertainty.

It is filled with engaging drawing and coloring activities, with age-appropriate short questions and answers. Its title, “Magnificent Marvelous Me” reflects the deep-seeded need for the child to matter, and to voice their own importance in the family. 100% of the proceeds go to help children in crisis through Art with Heart’s important work.
