Ethan and the Seven Chakras
Emotional tools children carry for life, wrapped in a story they ask to hear again.
Award-winning children's books that help children understand emotions, confidence, belonging, mindfulness, and the invisible strengths already living inside them.
Why This Series Was Created
Children feel everything, often before they have the words
Fear. Belonging. Confidence. Friendship. Courage. Self-worth. The Ethan series helps children navigate those invisible experiences through storytelling they can feel, not lessons they are made to sit through. Each book follows Ethan through a real emotional challenge while quietly introducing mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and the inner tools children need to trust themselves. Social-emotional learning and emotional intelligence, without preaching.
Book Highlights
Integrate these ancient secrets for a happy and healthy life easily and quickly. You and your children will immediately benefit from this knowledge after the very first reading while bonding with each other in new ways that feel authentic and loving.
Top professionals worldwide use these same tools to cultivate a championship mindset to bring out the very best of themselves despite having very human, personal fears and doubts — just like you and me. Access these same tools to elevate your life and grow into the next best version of yourself.
Exceptionally thoughtful, self-reflective questions enable you to clarify your values, dreams, triggers, shadows, and gifts in a safe and approachable manner. Sharing your responses with loved ones enables you to better understand one another, feel greater compassion and kindness for each other, and grow closer as a result.
Children open up like a flower, asking meaningful, self-reflective questions with genuine curiosity. In the process, you and your child grow closer while learning about each other's beliefs and feelings, and discover powerful techniques to cultivate a positive mindset to successfully navigate any life situation as you explore the challenges and lessons of each chakra with Ethan.

The Illustrations
Every page of the Ethan series is hand-painted in watercolor by Jana Rothwell — hand-drawn, hand-painted, and entirely human-made. No AI. No digital shortcuts. In a world increasingly saturated with algorithmically generated imagery, every illustration in this series is a handcrafted original.
Jana has hidden sacred geometry and symbols throughout the illustrations — placed with intention to help the subconscious resonate with deep intuition and connectivity. The art is not decoration. It is part of the story.
