I am Mark Brooks, a professional artist and educator. My artistic journey began in Italy, where I learned in depth how painting can carry emotions and tell inner stories. After that, I joined an international organization called the Global Child Emotion Aid Program (GCEAP) as a psychological art consultant, specializing in providing support for children experiencing emotional disorders.
There, I came into contact with many children with autism and depression. Most of them are taciturn and have difficulty expressing themselves in words, but when a brush is handed to them, their emotions flow quietly on the paper. I saw too many heavy but precious emotions, and those pictures are sometimes more real and moving than any language.
It is precisely because of these experiences that I created this hand-painted book. It is not only a work of art, but also a gentle healing space. For those who do not know how to express or dare not express, it provides a corner where they can safely release emotions and find themselves.
I hope it can become a small light in your heart, silently accompanying you, without explanation, just drawing.
