‘When It’s Time’ is a children’s picture book which encourages children to process and support their experience of grief. After encountering grief within my young adult years, I felt motivated to create an art therapy book for children which seeks to understand the different emotions that come with the loss of a loved one as well as offering advice. Inspired by the mindfulness of nature, paper illustrations made from a combination of solid coloured and painted paper cover the pages alongside soothing text. The book was hand-printed by myself, using the risograph with blue, red and yellow inks. I see this book as a helping hand and an emotional tool, with hope that it is referred back to ‘When It’s Time’.
