Learning to Get Along book series by Cheri J. Meiners
When I Feel Afraid, 2003
Learning to Get Along is a series of children’s book written by Cheri J. Meiners and illustrated by Meredith Johnson. It was published by Free Spirit Publishing from around 2003.
Marika Heinlen’s cover designs use a warm, approachable mix of typefaces to support the theme of emotional reassurance for young readers. The hand‑drawn softness of Minya Nouvelle gives the title a friendly, inviting presence, matching the book’s gentle illustration style. Supporting text set in ITC Stone Informal continues that approachable tone while remaining highly readable for adults guiding children through the material.
For structural clarity, the design relies on ITC Franklin Gothic for straightforward informational elements, balancing the more playful display choices. Together, these typefaces create a visual hierarchy that feels safe, calm, and accessible –perfectly aligned with the book’s purpose of helping children understand and navigate fear.
