Therapets Notebook

Many people who sit down to journal end up sinking into low mood or worry instead. The Thera-Pets Notebook is designed for that moment. Its lined pages are paired with gratitude prompts, uplifting affirmations, and encouraging illustrations, all meant to remind the reader that they matter and that things will settle. Small affirmations and cute animal sketches appear in the page corners, so a few words of encouragement are never far away.

The notebook is written for adults and can serve many purposes: manifestation or mindfulness practice, a place for thoughts that arrive at 2 a.m., or a space to build self-esteem and look after mental health. Kate Allan, an artist and author known for You Can Do All Things and the Thera-Pets Card Deck, created the illustrations, which appear on every page.

The book includes colorable animals intended to help readers relax and stay calm, doodle art aimed at anxiety, depression, and encouragement, and open lined pages for whatever is on the reader's mind. Fans of Hey You're So Great, Self-Care Check-In, or Present, Not Perfect, or of TheLatestKate's art more generally, may find it a good fit.
