Combining her two passions in life: self-development and teaching, she has passionately created the brand Mindful Champs, with a mission to bring an emotional education into the lives of children.Cally Johnson-Isaacs (Illustrator) Cally Johnson-Isaacs spent many fun-filled years as an in-house artist for Hallmark Cards before going on to pursue her children's book dreams.
