Your Invitation to My Sustainable Book Launch!
Details of the book launch for Justice-Minded Kids and The Life Mapping Workbook 💙
Hey there! I am Elisa, your everyday writer who recently published two books. Yesterday, I sent out an extensive essay on sustainable book launches and why I am doing one. Today I am inviting you to participate in mine!
This is a simple book launch. I designed it to work within my bandwidth and hopefully within yours.
My only hope is to get these books to their ideal audience—those who'd be encouraged and supported by these books. Now I bet you are curious about whether you or someone you know is in the ideal audience! Hopefully the following descriptions will help you determine who The Life Mapping Workbook and Justice-Minded Kids were written for.
Book #1 The Life Mapping Workbook
Ever wonder if you’re just wasting your life away, without vision? Or if there is a viable way to get off the path of burnout without quitting everything you’ve already built? The Life Mapping Workbook will guide you through a series of exercises to chart a sustainable path forward to your best destination. And you don’t even have to have a clue where that is when you open this workbook!
This framework has two focuses. The first helps you discover your purpose and priorities, so you can know which direction to head in. In the second part you’ll design a flexible plan so you can intentionally move forward. Both parts empower you to be who you’re meant to be and to make the difference you’re born to make!
Don’t you think it’s time to align with who you’re meant to be, to live intentionally, with impact, and dive into a story worth living?
The Life Mapping Workbook:Â Get it on Amazon.com here or Get a pdf version here.
Book #2 Justice-Minded Kids
Do you want the kids in your life to be compassionate, love others, and practice justice?This book empowers you to build foundational character traits that will lead your kids to do good and make a difference!
Justice-Minded Kids is a simple and easy curriculum geared for elementary kids and can be adapted to any age group. It begins with practical guidance on raising changemakers through lived-experience examples from the author.
The second part of this book contains thirty-six short lessons that can each be completed within fifteen-minutes. Every lesson includes a value statement, corresponding activity, and space for reflection. It can be used at your own pace or as a weekly group challenge. Designed for busy parents, caregivers, and teachers, Justice-Minded Kids removes the overwhelm and provides a method to begin raising changemakers!

If you live outside the U.S, I'm so sorry but you don't qualify for the giveaway, but I can still send you a sticker and a pdf version of my books. You don't have to buy something to enter, and all the other typical rules here so I don't get in trouble by some legalise...ÂPlease share this form if you know of someone else who might want to help spread the word!
Thank you so much for your willingness in helping me get these books to where they are going! I appreciate it greatly!
