The Doodle Tree (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781962416542)

The Doodle Tree is about a young person exploring the art form of doodling. Sitting in a tree with a pad on their lap, the child feels free to make marks on the paper. They explore different ways to use the pencil to create different types of lines. The child lets their inner self take control of the pencil. There is no concern for making mistakes, no place for perfection, and no judgment. There is a connection between the natural world the child is experiencing and the expressive marks on the child's paper. The child's doodles create a tree. On the last page, the reader (age 6-13) is invited to explore their creativity by picking up a pencil to doodle. This book is meant to free the reader of preconceived ideas of doodling and drawing. There are no rules and no limits. Doodling is a visual expression of our inner self that allows our mind to open to new possibilities, to be free of judgment, and to let our imaginations flow in new directions. Doodling is for everyone. Pick up a pencil and discover how doodling can be a freeing, relaxing, and fun journey for you.
