Jacob's Journey

Does your child struggle with negative thoughts, self-doubt, or anxiety?

Jacob's Journey Taming My Icky Thoughts with the Melodies is a heartwarming, therapeutic picture book designed to help children understand their emotions and discover ways to change the way they think.

Inspired by a song by John Mews, a licensed child and family therapist and music educator with over two decades of experience, this book shows children how they can turn negative thoughts into positive ones. Using the power of music, kids learn to recognize unhelpful thoughts and transform them into kinder, more supportive ones-building confidence, calm, and emotional strength along the way.

The story follows Jacob, a young boy weighed down by "icky thoughts" that tell him he's not good enough or loved.

The vibrant illustrations by Craft2Publish bring Jacob's journey to life, making it easy and fun for children to connect with the story.

Perfect for children ages 5-10, families, and professionals supporting young minds, Icky Thoughts vs. Calm Thoughts helps kids manage anxiety, boost confidence, and develop lifelong emotional resilience.

Turn your child's icky thoughts into calm, confident ones and give them the gift of emotional strength that lasts a lifetime.
