This is an interactive workbook for children to help them organize their own spaces. I liked that there are spots in the book for the child to answer questions or draw something. I think it will help them to work through what they want their space to be.

I liked that this talks about organization but does also have a minimalist approach as well. I think it’s a good blend. There are a lot of positive reinforcement moments in the book, which could help a child move forward and feel like they are accomplishing things. I like those little touches throughout the pages.

Overall, my only struggle with this book is who exactly it’s geared toward. It has too much content for a younger child, so I think it’s best suited for a teen. The affirmations may feel too young for a teenager though. So, I’m thinking it might be best worked together with a parent and a middle-school aged child.
