Huru & Maya - My Tides and Me Journal

by Liz Kabuage & Jane Koigi

Huru & Maya: My Tides & Me is a beautifully illustrated 120-day guided journal for children aged 8–12, designed to help them explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences with confidence. Inspired by the peaceful Kenyan coastline, each day offers gentle prompts that encourage self-reflection, emotional awareness, gratitude and personal growth. Whether children are experiencing big feelings, changing feelings or simply a "meh" day, this journal provides a safe space to pause, reflect and build resilience. Inspired by the experiences of children who have siblings with Down Syndrome, My Tides & Me was created with the understanding that every child has their own unique journey. Thoughtfully written for all pre-teens, it is a meaningful companion for navigating the transition from childhood towards adolescence.
