Dear Young Users, Teachers and Parents,
The goal of MakeBeliefsComix has always been to provide a safe space where young people can come and express their deepest thoughts and stories in the form of comix. By being empowered to creatively communicate their ideas, young people gain self-confidence, take pride in their thoughts and feel good about themselves.
For these hard times MakeBeliefsComix also wants to provide comfort to many young people who are distressed and anxious because of the terrible pandemic, the negative pressures of social media, global warming, school violence and family economic problems.
We are alarmed by the new U.S. Surgeon General’s report which warns that young people are facing ‘’devastating’’ mental health effects as a result of all these challenges. We want to lift young people’s spirits and have developed a wide array of resources which enable kids to express what’s in their hearts. These provide an encouraging way for them to write and ease the anxiety they may feel.
To introduce these resources to you we’ve created this new sampler page to highlight some of our interactive features which you can write directly on from your digital device. Try them out by clicking on them; If you like them, you can download for free the full books and more printables yourself. Even this small sample, we hope, will bring a smile to your face. And look for more new features in the next few weeks to cheer you. Remember, MakeBeliefsComix has got your back!
As always, we welcome your suggestions and thoughts on what more we can do to help you; write to billz@makebeliefscomix.com You can also email us your completed pages which we can feature on our Gallery page.
Enjoy (and smiles to you),
Bill Zimmerman
Founder, MakeBeliefsComix
