Journey's Jewels: Journey and the Diamond of Self Love

Meet Journey, a bright and curious 6-year-old girl with Autism who sees the world in her own unique way. In the Journey's Jewels series, she embarks on everyday adventures, uncovering life's most important lessons. Each lesson becomes a precious "jewel" she collects in her treasure box, symbolizing her growing strength and wisdom.

In this touching first story, Journey starts to notice that she does some things a little differently from the other kids at school. When a classmate calls her "weird," Journey feels sadness and confusion. But with gentle encouragement from her mom, she learns a beautiful truth: being different is what makes her extraordinary. Through self-reflection and love, Journey discovers the power of embracing who she truly is.

By the end of her journey, she earns her very first jewel, the Diamond of Self-Love, and places it in her treasure box. It serves as a reminder that loving yourself is one of the greatest gifts of all.

This is just the beginning of her ongoing journey of self-discovery, where each new adventure brings a new jewel, teaching valuable lessons about courage, kindness, and the beauty of diversity. Through Journey's eyes, young readers will discover how wonderful it is to be themselves and celebrate what makes them unique.
