Ever thought about the impact of children's literature on mental health? In this episode of Toni TV, Toni Lontis sits down with Lindy Jelleman, a dedicated children's mental health author and illustrator. Lindy opens up about her book 'Tinker Tailor's Toolbox (For Mending Broken Hearts)', a touching story about a boy named Tinker who helps his sister Emily-Belle navigate through a tough time using a 'Happiness Toolbox'.
This toolbox isn't just a plot device; it's a real-life resource aimed at boosting gratitude, self-worth, connectedness, and resilience in kids. Lindy shares how she brought her vision to life by illustrating the book herself and choosing to self-publish to maintain creative control. But her creativity doesn't stop there. Lindy also talks about her work under the name Lindy Wyse in 'The Colours of Me', a book that takes a different direction from her children's literature.
Her chapter, 'Letter from the Lucky One', offers another layer to her multifaceted career. This episode is perfect for parents, educators, and anyone interested in the intersection of mental health and children's literature. You'll walk away with practical tips and heartfelt stories that highlight the importance of supporting kids through life's challenges.
