Your mom is sick, emergency doctor visits are a daily occurrence, and your family is small - your grandmother is gone, your cousin took her own life, your uncle disappeared. Lina knows this. In this simple, heartwarming story, you follow Lina, a girl like you who attends a special needs school and learns to cope with pain with the help of her best friend Lena.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLina cries often, just like you, but she discovers little ways to take breaks: a diary for good moments, painting for feelings, a garden that grows. Step by step, she learns that she is not to blame for the failures of others-not for her mom's stroke, not for the addiction in the family. Instead, she looks at herself: self-care, dreams, and a future that she shapes herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is like gentle therapy: short chapters, simple language for 12- to 15-year-olds, and at the end of each story, an exercise you can try - paint your calendar, write down your dreams, or plant a flower. It helps you process grief, find strength, and breathe, even on difficult days. For girls who are having a hard time but are learning that hope grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick it up-and find your green day. Perfect for parents, teachers, or therapists who want to help children cope with loss and illness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA true story of a 13-year-old girl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ric Stone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798245850900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Ric Stone","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447276089599,"sku":"9798245850900","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5eb06b48-2f06-4619-a37b-907761dd1772.jpg?v=1777230022","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-own-path-ric-stone-9798245850900","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
