Den særligt sensitive, grønne bold starter i skole- Billedbørnebog om at være særligt sensitivDen grønne bold har svært ved at passe ind, da den starter i skole.Der er meget larm i klassen. Tøjet kradser.Stolene er alt for hårde, og bolden har svært ved at sidde stille på sin runde numse.En dag bliver indtrykkene for mange …Historien handler om, når tingene bliver for meget, og hvad der så kan ske.Men uanset hvem vi er, så er vi alle unikke og særligt gode til noget.Billedbørnebogen er tænkt som et værktøj til forældre og børn, der er særligt sensitive, men det er samtidig en bog, der kan læses af alle, da vi jo alle er forskellige. Sammen kan børn og forældre få en snak i gang om de fordele og udfordringer, der er i børnenes hverdag, ved at være særligt modtagelig for indtryk og impulser. Det er vigtigt at få børnene til at arbejde konstruktivt med og få bearbejdet følelsen af at være forkert, anderledes eller utilstrækkelig – og i stedet få flyttet fokus over på det, de er særligt gode til.Bogen, som er den første i en serie om det at være særligt sensitiv, er skrevet og illustreret af Marie Elisabeth A. Franck Mortensen. Hun er kunstner, forfatter og foredragsholder - og selv særligt sensitiv. Hun har tidligere udgivet en voksenbog om kreativitet og personlig udvikling samt 2 voksen malebøger. Desuden har hun inspirationsstedet ”De Kreative Mellemrum” i Gl. Rye.Bogen er også udgivet som fysisk bog samt som eBog på engelsk.

Oplev inspirationsbogen ”De Kreative Mellemrum” – Bliv et kreativt skabende menneske af forfatter, foredragsholder og kunstner Marie Elisabeth A. Franck Mortensen.Bogen skal hjælpe mennesker med at udvikle deres kreative egenskaber og dermed løfte og bringe dem videre i livet. Bogen skiller sig dog væsentligt ud fra andre bøger om kreativitet og selvhjælp ved at tilbyde en unik kombination af selvbiografi og positiv livsfilosofi samt konstruktive, kreative metoder og vejledning til personlig udvikling.Hovedbudskabet i bogen er, at man skal lære at tage ansvar for sit eget liv og blive bevidst om, at man er et kreativt skabende menneske. Hvis man møder modstand i livet, er det vigtigt ikke at se sig selv som offer, men i stedet prøve at skabe forandringer. Dette kan ske ved, at man ændrer sin indstilling og sit syn på tingene. Og det kan faktisk lade sig gøre at komme igennem selv de værste kriser ved at fokusere på de positive sider og nye muligheder og ved at bruge kreativiteten og fantasien. Bogen kan i høj grad bruges som inspiration i økonomiske krisetider, og erhvervslivet har da også vist stor interesse, da man her til stadighed er på jagt efter nye, kreative muligheder og nytænkning for at komme videre ud af krisen. Ideerne i bogen kan bruges til at ændre fastgroede handlemønstre og tankegange, så virksomhederne kan lære at være kreativt skabende og dermed skabe mervækst.Uddrag fra pressemeddelelsen ved bogens udgivelse:”DE KREATIVE MELLEMRUM” - UANEDE NYE MULIGHEDERKrise og modgang kan skabe kreativitet, hvis du flytter dit fokus over på ”De Kreative Mellemrum”. Er du klar til et positivt løft og mere kreativitet i din hverdag, i familien eller på jobbet, så kan bogen om ”De Kreative Mellemrum”- Bliv et kreativt skabende menneske være et anderledes redskab, der kan bringe dig videre i livet, uanset hvor du er.Foredragsholder, forfatter og mosaikkunstner Marie Elisabeth A. Franck Mortensen har skabt begrebet ”De Kreative Mellemrum”, som betegner det nærværsrum, som eksisterer mellem alting. Det er dette ”Kreative Mellemrum”, du skal rette dit fokus på, hvis du ønsker at skabe forandringer i dit liv, ændre på fastlåste problemstillinger, tænke nyt, eller bare trænger til et løft.Marie Elisabeth A. Franck Mortensen har sin baggrund i kunstens verden og har i mange år lavet en bred vifte af udsmykningsopgaver i flisemosaik. Tusindvis og atter tusindvis af fliser er blevet knækket i en evig fordybelse af de uendelige muligheder, der ligger i at skabe ny struktur, nye ”Kreative Mellemrum”. Erfaringerne fra den kreative verden har hun koblet sammen med den kunst, det er at skabe livet. ”Har du et ønske om at forandre og forbedre din tilværelse i fremtiden, uanset på hvilket plan, du arbejder, eller hvad du beskæftiger dig med, så lær at rykke dit fokus over på de mellemrum, der findes mellem alting – mellem dig og din kollega/chef/ægtefælle/barn/virksomhed/produkt o.s.v. Lær at skabe nye ”Kreative Mellemrum” i alt, hvad du har med at gøre. For der er altid ti nye døre, der åbner sig, når vi lærer at rykke vores opmærksomhed. Og du bliver dermed bevidst omkring det at være et kreativt skabende menneske,” siger ekspert i ”De Kreative Mellemrum”, Marie Elisabeth A. Franck Mortensen.Fagligt byder bogen på fire metoder at arbejde med kreativitet, som kan bruges til inspiration i livet.Den kreative viden og den positive livsfilosofi, der kommer til udtryk i bogen, henvender sig til en bred målgruppe, og ideerne kan kobles over på det at have med en familie at gøre såvel som en personalegruppe, en virksomhed eller udviklingen af et produkt.Bogen er lettilgængelig og fyldt med hverdagsanekdoter, som giver eksempler på, hvordan forfatteren selv har arbejdet med det at skabe hjem, job, kæreste, produkter, håndteret krisesituationer osv. Desuden er den fyldt med farverige fotos af en bred vifte af kunstnerens egne værker, som illustrerer budskabet i bogen.Bogen giver bl.a. svar på følgende spørgsmål:Hvor kommer ideerne fra?Hvordan kan krise og modgang skabe kreativitet og nytænkning?Hvad vil det sige at indtræde i ”De Kreative Mellemrum”?Hvorfor er det så vigtigt at have mod til at forfølge flow og passion selv i perioder med udfordringer?Marie Elisabeth A. Franck Mortensen udtaler: ”At skabe er ikke forbeholdt kunstnere. Vi skaber alle kunst i vores eget liv. Du er ikke bare kunstneren men også penslen, farverne, lærredet og selve billedet, du skaber. Uanset hvor du er eller hvad, du har gang i.”OM FORFATTERNE:Marie Elisabeth A. Franck Mortensen er født i 1959, opvokset på den jyske hede og bor i dag i Gl.

The Highly Sensitive, Green Ball Goes to School- A children’s picture book about being highly sensitive.The green ball has a hard time fitting in when it starts school.The noise in the classroom is very loud.Its sweater is scratching.The chairs are too hard, and it is difficult for the ball to sit quietly on its round bottom.One day the impressions just get too many…The story is about when things get too much and what can happen then.But no matter who we are, we are all unique and especially good at something.The children’s book is conceived as a tool for parents and children who are highly sensitive, but at the same time it is a book that everybody can read because we are all different.Together, parents and children can discuss the advantages and challenges that highly sensitive children experience in their everyday lives being easily overwhelmed and extra susceptible to impressions. It is important that the children work constructively with feelings of being different, outside or inadequate – and instead shift their attention to what they are especially good at due to being highly sensitive.The book is the first in a series of books about being highly sensitive. It is written and illustrated by Marie Elisabeth A. Franck Mortensen. She is a Danish artist, author and public speaker – and highly sensitive herself.She has written and published an adult book about creativity and personal development as well as two colouring books for adults.She is the owner of the inspirational garden “CreativeSpaces-fm.com” in Denmark.The book is published in Danish - in a hardback print version and as an eBook.

On top of this you discover why it is so vital to have the courage to follow the feeling of flow and pursue your passion in life, and you experience how crisis and hardship can be used constructively in a creative process. The book helps people develop their creative abilities, and in the process they are lifted up and get ready to move further on in their lives. Let yourself be inspired and motivated by a positive philosophy of life - spiced with entertaining anecdotes and lots of colorful illustrations of the artist's works of art. The simple, creative tools offered in the book can give you an infusion of energy in your everyday life as well as make you more conscious about being creative in your own life. - Where do new ideas come from?- How can crisis and hardships create creativity and innovation?- What does it mean to step into "The Creative Spaces in Between"?- Creativity as “the connecting thread of fate” in life.
