Books By Laura Jane Layton
Reaching the story earlier.
Laura Jane writes children’s books to reach kids before the stories they tell themselves become the stories they carry into adulthood.
Her Superpower books give children simple words to recognize the voice that tells them they are not enough and discover another way to speak to themselves. Rather than telling children who they should become, her stories support them in discovering who they naturally are.
Her children’s books are the beginning of the same work she does with adults through Silencing Your Inner Bully®. She is reaching the story earlier.
