What helps us as we face a lifetime of challenges? Boo Paterson tried it all and found that many things helped her when times were hard. But what helped the most was creative expression. She set out to find ways that people who didn't consider themselves artists could have the feeling of flow and immersion she experienced while creating art. The result is her book, First Art Kit: 25 Creative Papercraft Remedies for What Ails You. In simple paper projects created to address common emotional challenges, she invites readers to step into the world of creative expression whether or not they have ever considered themselves artists. And asa an extra bonus, she adds descriptions of the other modalities that have helped her along the way!
