Erica Root

52 Awesome Weeks of Trying New Things

Full of charming illustrations and inspiring prompts, A Year of Weeks is an interactive, imagination-sparking road map for a year of trying new things -- broken into 52 exciting, achievable activities.
From drinking enough water to trying out hand lettering, readers will delight in the engaging challenges and perspective-expanding activities curated by artist Erica Root in A Year of Weeks. Drawing on a wide range of prompts -- from the practical to the dreamy -- each week offers opportunities to try new things. And with each day broken down to bite-sized morsels and accomplishable goals, like dusting small corners or learning how to draw animal mugs, this adorable book has a little something for everyone in search of inspiration -- from those who love decluttering to those who love lists. Through engaging activities and imagination-sparking illustrations, A Year of Weeks offers endless opportunities for enriching your life -- one week at a time.

Key selling points:
- On-trend approach to personal growth: A Year of Weeks offers a fun, varied, and incredibly doable way of bringing something new into your life, without having to make massive changes. It appeals to audiences that flocked to interactive journals like The 52 Lists Project and Start Where You Are.
- Gift-worthy, broadly appealing aesthetic: The illustrations make this book both contemporary and unique. It is soft and pretty, lending an air of approachability to the project that invites readers in.
- Interactive angle, perfect for readers who crave personalization: With more content than you'd find in a journal, but plenty of opportunities for interaction (particularly the checklists) this appeals to readers who might not want to go all-in on a guided journal but still want a book they can make their own.

Erica Root is a Philadelphia-based illustrator, artist, and mom of two.

A Year of Weeks encourages us to do a very simple but difficult thing: try something new every week. With engaging illustrations and thoughtful prompts, this journal inspires us to stretch ourselves each day - ensuring that by the end of the year, we've experienced the lessons and growth necessary to head into the next with confidence and an open heart.

What a great idea. Erica's illustrations and insights together are so wonderfully digestible, whimsical, and peace- and curiosity-inducing... Each activity and illustration gifts me a totally stress?free task to engage me further as a person, as a mom, as someone who wants to do more and is sometimes so overwhelmed by the wait and rush of this ride...

I fell in love with this charming and motivating book. It's gorgeous, very cool, and Erica's warmth comes through in her step?by?step, innovative guide.

Sometimes our most inspired moments come from the simplest challenges. A Year of Weeks is chock full of weekly uncomplicated, fun exercises to wake up our creativity, think outside the box, and dream big. Stunningly illustrated and exquisitely hand?lettered, Erica Root's own artistic style lends an encouraging backdrop to this book of weekly activities.
