NDANI: Amani’s Journey – God Is With Me • Mungu Yuko Nami is a deeply nurturing children’s colouring book that blends faith, mindfulness, and emotional healing into one gentle and immersive experience.
At its heart, NDANI is more than a colouring book.
It is a tool for inner process work, carefully created to help children feel seen, safe, and connected, especially in moments of uncertainty, fear, or emotional overwhelm.
Through the journey of Amani, a young child navigating everyday emotions, readers are guided through themes of the following:
- fear and safety
- loneliness and belonging
- anger and calm
- self-worth and identity
- forgiveness, hope, and trust
Each page unfolds as part of a continuous story, helping children understand that their feelings are not something to fix or hide… but something to gently notice, express, and move through.
THERAPEUTICALLY INFORMED
NDANI is grounded in evidence-based and holistic approaches, including:
- Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
- Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy (MBAT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills (emotional regulation, distress tolerance)
- Focusing-Oriented Art Therapy (FOAT)
- Open Studio Process (non-judgmental creative expression)
These approaches are translated into child-friendly prompts that encourage:
- emotional awareness
- body-based grounding
- self-expression through art
- gentle reflection
A FULLY IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
The book features thoughtfully designed, hand-drawn colouring pages, each including:
- a flowing, story-based narrative
- simple, affirming language
- Bible verses for spiritual grounding
- mindfulness and reflection prompts
- Swahili phrases that root the experience in Kenyan culture
Children are invited not just to colour but also to pause, breathe, and connect inwardly.
CULTURALLY ROOTED & RELATABLE
Set within familiar Kenyan environments, NDANI reflects:
- African homes and community life
- village and school settings
- nature elements such as acacia trees, birds, and sunsets
- culturally relevant clothing, family structures, and shared spaces
This grounding allows children to see themselves in the story, creating a deeper sense of belonging and recognition.
A MESSAGE OF CONSTANT PRESENCE
At its core, NDANI carries one powerful truth:
Even in uncertainty, even in fear, even in moments that feel empty, God is present.
Mungu yuko nawe.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Remina Nduta is a therapist in training in Marriage and Family Therapy, with a deep interest in inner child work, mindfulness, and faith-based healing.
Her work is rooted in the belief that healing begins when individuals are given space to
- feel without judgment
- express without pressure
- and reconnect with a sense of safety within themselves
NDANI was created as a love letter to the inner child—a gentle offering for children and families navigating emotional experiences and a reminder that no one is ever truly alone.
WHY NDANI MATTERS
In a world where children are often taught to be strong before they are taught to feel, NDANI creates a different kind of space:
A space where:
- emotions are welcomed
- silence is safe
- creativity becomes healing
- and God is experienced as near, steady, and loving
NDANI is not just a colouring book.
It is a quiet companion for the child’s inner world.
