The Feelings Umbrella

LaNay Meier is a retired mental health nurse who saw many people in pain throughout her career. She developed a concept that she thought could help people process their feelings in a healthy way — a ‘feelings umbrella.’

She wanted to create a book to help get this message across to children, so they could avoid the unfortunate situations that result from an inability to cope with emotions.

She asked for my help in putting the book together. Many friends and professionals helped to clarify the concept and message. Then I designed the book, using stock images which I revised to fit the story.

The result is The Feelings Umbrella, available here.
