Hi, we are Claudia, Andrea and Thania. Krei and the flower of hearts is our debut picture book as authors. Join Krei and us in this adventure!It all started when we became moms... (motherhood changes everything!) Among all the challenges and changes, we realized that we live in a fast pace and hyper-connected world where children are losing their natural strengths like curiosity, creativity, empathy, and the ability to connect and express genuinely. We are strong believers that creativity and social-emotional skills are very important tools , and we need to protect and nourish them in our kids now.
Almost 4 years ago we started offering our creative workshops, and with the intention of reaching more kids and families with our message, we decided to create fun stories that could help children to navigate their feelings, to facilitate their expression and to invite them into new creative adventures. Stories that will allow parents and children to talk, explore, and understand their emotions.

Thania Libri Díaz
We couldn’t have started Krei Books without Thania, a free spirited artist who felt in love with the project and became part of the team, collaborating as author and illustrator. Thania is an Italian artist who has loved drawing since she was a child. She is a romantic and idealist who dreams of a world full of love, peace, and balance. Her inspiration is her son Leonardo and the colors of life. |
To achieve this we have put together the best team, the CREARE VILLAGE, a multidisciplinary and bilingual group of experts in psychology, pedagogy, editing, and creativity whose common mission is to protect children’s natural resourcefulness. This book has been deeply edited by Deletrea and designed by Safari Lab, the story has been reviewed by Dr. Aura Sofia Diaz a Psychologist with experience in family therapy, human development and the study of the brain and multiple intelligences.

CREATIVE WORKSHOPS
Creativity and emotional intelligence are the resources of the future. They are powerful skills that help us solve problems and approach every situation. It's not just the book! We have creative workshops that go along with the book that will help build community and boost the creative powers and expression of children. Below is a Workshop that we did in collaboration with Recipes for Change at The Lotus House in Miami Florida. |

KREI is a long-awaited book. It addresses the issue of identification and management of emotions. Seeing the format we might think that the book is for children, but it is not. It is undoubtedly for those wise children like Nicole, who, reading it with me, understood and interpreted with emotional depth the meaning of the "story." KREI is also a book for us adults, that sometimes it is very difficult for us to identify what we are feeling, and even less to give it a name when we feel that is why it is very important the moment when KREI's friends gather to identify what is feeling My wish is that this book, and those we hope to continue publishing, will become our "wise spider" for a richer and more humane coexistence among us.
