Her characteristically vibrant designs are ideal for coloring books, and she is the talented artist behind Notebook Doodles Super Cute, Notebook Doodles Go Girl!, and the entire series of Notebook Doodles books for tweens.

Jess has recently launched this line of journals that helps tween girls develop their self confidence. Having a little girl herself, she knows the importance that positive words can have on a developing mind. "Expressing oneself through journaling and art helps build internal confidence and inner strength that girls can rely on," Volinski says.

Her journal Notebook Doodles Go Girl! Guided Journal (aka Always Be Yourself) was created with her daughter and other tweens in mind.

This journal pops with color and is intended to stir imagination, boost self-esteem, and build confidence. Always Be Yourself is a guided journal peppered with motivational quotes. With prompts such as "compare and contrast your two favorite fictional characters" and "tell the story of a time you overcame a challenge," the journal is loaded with age-appropriate writing guides to aid in the steady flow of writing and creativity.

Volinski has seen first-hand the importance that writing and art can have on a child. She frequently visits schools to give art lessons. The change in attitude among the children is palpable: The room jumps to life with energy! "Children feel free to voice their opinions and speak up once we begin our art sessions," she says. "Art is a building block for development."

This journal is intended to do just that—help children develop. The prompts are carefully designed to pull out the most positive aspects of a child's life—"What makes you happy?"—and to help them look toward good role models—"Who is the bravest person you know?" The goal is to build children up through art!
