about the book.

You Are A Miracle makes the invisible visible.

Ivy goes on a journey into her inner world - and begins to understand a lot of things about herself in this magical world.

What defines her? And why are her feelings uncomfortable sometimes, but never automatically bad? What are values and how do they guide her through her life? And why is life just more beautiful, when you look at it through her gratitude goggles?

Over 8 chapters, divided across 64 pages, together with Ivy, you will learn about concepts like self-image, inner beliefs, values, dreams and love, easily explained through images and symbols.

A wonderfully illustrated book for older and younger kids and all those, who want to learn more about themselves and their inner workings.

a letter from the inner world.

Hi, I’m Ivy, and I am so happy you are here!

I really am happy you are here, because I couldn’t have possibly waited any longer to tell you about the most curious thing that happened to me a little while ago:

It was one beautiful evening, I was watching the stars at my favorite lake and I must have fallen asleep, because when I opened my eyes again, I suddenly found myself in a place called the inner world. My inner world. And even though I didn’t recognize it, it felt so familiar, I couldn’t help but explore it.

Let me tell you, it was a magical place. There was light and darkness, happiness and fear, gardens and forests, seas and lakes and even a sky full of stars. I met magical beings who helped me make sense of it all and who shared their gifts with me - thankfully, I had my backpack with me to bring all these little memories with me. Most importantly, my adventures in the inner world taught me that I am a miracle. We all are.

I teamed up with a bunch of lovely people who are currently helping me to sum up my adventures so you can read and see all about them soon. But because all good things take time, I will already start sharing some bits and pieces of my journey with you in my letters from the inner world.

And now, please excuse me, as I have to go pick some berries in my garden of thoughts. I’ll be in touch!

Love, always,
Ivy

the people behind the book.

A bunch of creative dreamers.

Hi, we’re Viola, Madita, Kathi & Nina (from left to right) and five years ago, we set out to make the invisible visible. To showcase the magic our inner world has to offer, if we just dare to explore it. We deeply believe that this world would be a kinder and more loving place if everyone had the skills to understand and work with their own inner workings - thoughts, feelings, dreams, values, and more of those fun things. Knowing ourselves, how to deal with ourselves and communicate it to the outside world makes us more loving human beings, we’re convinced of that.

We are also big dreamers - especially one of us (Nina) - and decided that writing & illustrating a book in not just one, but two languages and doing it all ourselves, without a big publishing house, was a great idea. Fast forward to now: we are almost ready to publish our book (it’s only a matter of days) and couldn’t be more excited and sure of the path we’re on. The ideas are endless and there will for sure be more than that one book we are currently working on. So: stay tuned. We’re just as happy as Ivy that you are here!
