Return to your roots, for the next generation.

Experience the magic within you, guided by the power of story.

COME BACK HOME TO YOUR ROOTS

In raising our own children, we have lost touch with the raw, untamed parts that make us human: the ability to cry, feel rage, dance, sing, play, and to love.

This workbook is a guide for you and your family to return to your roots. By regulating your nervous system together through play, creative expression, connection, meditation, nature, and re-parenting, you can begin to soften to the world within and around you, cultivating emotional resilience.

THE ROOTED FAMILIES WORKBOOK

Meet Bonnie

My name is Bonnie. I am a 26-year-old writer and mother from England. I have a burning passion for creating new worlds, nurturing future generations and capturing raw human emotions through the power of story.

Writing has been a part of me since I could hold a pen. I feel the world around me and within me with a deep sensitivity. I find refuge within poetry and the natural world, and you will find these themes weaved through my work.

Words unite us in collaboration; they win wars, bridge cultures, evoke tears, connect us to our ancestors and our future. They form the bones of our humanity.

What readers say

“The Seasons of Me is a beautiful book, and my son was captivated by the vibrant pictures. The illustrations are eye-catching and kept him engaged from start to finish. I love how the story ties emotions to the changing seasons, showing that feelings are a natural part of life. The calm, soothing tone and the stunning artwork make it a delightful read for both of us. It’s a wonderful book to enjoy together!”

“This book is so beautifully written and enjoyable for all ages. the words are just so powerful yet absorbable for young minds, a stunning depiction to embrace our seasons.”

“This gorgeous children’s book has my heart. It looks at the world through the innocent eyes of a child who has been brought up knowing nature. It uncovers emotional imbalance and how just as nature has its storms- we too are allowed to feel turbulence in our own lives. It shows a loving and compassionate family relationship- in touch with the wonders of the world. It also has interactivity questions at the back. Anyone invested in raising their child with a good grasp of both their emotions and the beauty of nature / importance of the environment should invest in this book.”

The Power of Sharing Your Story
The Power of Sharing Your Story

Humans have been sharing their stories since the beginning of time. We would connect with our ancestors as we gathered by a fire out in the wilderness, singing songs and creating with our bare hands.

My Story
My Story

At a young age, I learnt that the stories that live inside me could be turned into vast new worlds, as a way to bridge new connections with myself and the world around me, and as a way to create beautiful art out of my pain, my experiences, my dreams, and imagination. There is a whole world inside of us all, and I’ve been turning those worlds into stories since I could hold a pencil.


Honouring the Many Seasons of Your Emotions, Alongside Your Children
Honouring the Many Seasons of Your Emotions, Alongside Your Children

Becoming a mother has been my greatest teacher in understanding the importance of honouring emotions as part of our human experience. The raw and truthful expression of a child reminds me of the beauty in simply feeling without judgement and being joyful for the sake of joy. When we deny children the space to express their emotions, we teach them to fear the depth of their human-ness. But when we walk with them throughout each season, we empower them to navigate life’s ups and downs with authenticity.
