Seven Secrets of the Universe is a story for children and adults to work on their self love, and remember how to take care of theirselves. Finding a new way to relate to their body, nature and others.
This is the story of Carlota, a little girl who carrying her suitcase arrives to Puerto Cabello, a small seaside town in Venezuela. Here she will start a journey in which she will meet different characters that will show her Seven Secrets of the Universe.
During the trip, Carlota will realize that her suitcase feels very heavy. She will also learn that she is the one that has put or let in the heavy words and confused thoughts into the suitcase. With the help of her new friends she begins to transform her suitcase, leaving space to store Seven Secrets of the Universe.
The book will have 32 pages and its size will be 22 x 22 cm. Cooked binding and paper Munken Polar 200gr.
NOTE: THIS BOOK WILL BE PRINTED IN SPANISH, IF WE REACHED OUR GOAL BEFORE THE DEADLINE WE WILL SET A NEW GOAL TO PRINT THE ENGLISH VERSION.
TELL YOUR OWN TALE
You are the co-author of the story because you can make it your own by coloring it.
Also because you can write in the three lists:
What do you want to take out 💨
What do you want to keep 💙
What do you want to receive 🌸
Moreover you can draw in the two suitcases what you have written previously.
In the first suitcase 👜 what you have discovered you want to take out.
In the second suitcase 👜 what you want to leave and what you would like to receive.
Lastly, on the pages that a secret is reveled you will be able to rewrite over the letters to complete them. 🖍
WHO IS THIS FOR?
It can be used by parents, teachers or therapists to work on unspoken child's situations and or their own situations, together or separately. Depending on the age of the child you should help them to do it or not they can do it on their own.
From 3 to 5 years old, you can just read and color it.
Between 5 to 12 years you can work on the book with your child, talking about the suitcase to bring out unspoken subjects.
All this is only a guide, every child is different nobody knows your child better than yourself, so do whatever feels right to you.
I have been reading the story to my little one since he turned 3, we have colored it together and he likes it a lot!y
It is for adults too! That is why we recommend to by two, so you can also work on the suitcase and have plenty of fun coloring it! 🌸
MORE ABOUT THIS STORY BOOK
Seven Secrets of the Universe is the first story where I managed to unite the artistic and the spiritual to apply it to the day to day, something I wanted to do for quite some time.
This story is set in Puerto Cabello, a beautiful seaside town in Venezuela that I visited every weekend to spend quality time with my family. The food of my grandmother, the music of my grandfather Italo Pizzolante, the love of my aunts and the laughs with my cousins, uncles, sisters and my mother made it always a unique experience.
Puerto Cabello was the beginning of a personal trip that would connect me with my creative power, it was the door to find the seven secrets.

ABOUT US
My name is Irene Carolina and I am artist. From early on I knew that I wanted to draw and tell my own stories, but I did not know which ones. I studied Visual Communication in Pro Diseño (Venezuela), illustration in Savannah College of Art and Design (United States) and Master in Cultural Projects Manager in La Fábrica (Spain). I have worked for different newspapers, magazines and editorials.
Throughout these years I also learned and experimented with holistic healing through Chi Kung Shaolin, Reiki, Yoga, Meditation and others. And visit sacred places of Mother Nature.
What I did not know is that where I would finally find my stories in the creative energy that the art, spiritual, natural and love world shared.
A few years ago I became a mother and all of a sudden all the things that I have learnt and look for made sense, and I realized that I wanted to speak to children, but also to dads and mums through images, words and movement.
In my website you can see other of bits of my work, such as the recently published children books My Feminist ABC which I did all the illustrations for. Seven Secrets of the Universe is the first story that I launch on my own and the first time I do a crowfunding campaign.
This book is part of a bigger project Armony, the power of creating, which wants to bring more books, illustrations, workshops and experiences.
Many people have been part this project, without their help I wouldn´t be here today. **Big thanks to my friends, colleagues, teachers, Sifus, masters, my family, my ex-husband and my son.
Beatriz Losada as consultant and business plan manager and Irene Gonzalez as content coordination, both are very special part of the project. Armonía, el arte de crear.
And in a previous step I had key people that help to make my dream come true, Kharolys Naranjo, designer and consultant and Jefferson Quintana, illustrator and designer.
