Journey to Mars

By Trayonna Barnes

Journey to Mars is a heartfelt bibliotherapy story that follows Alex, a young boy navigating the heavy weight of sadness. Through imagination, Alex creates a safe place on Mars where he can process his emotions, feel seen, and begin to heal. This story gently reminds children that sadness is a feeling-not a forever-and gives them tools to cope, reflect, and find comfort within themselves. Designed to support emotional literacy, Journey to Mars empowers young readers while honoring their experiences. This meaningful book is lovingly dedicated to Kyran, carrying his light throughout every page.
