The Baby Book of You

There are no assumptions made on family or firsts, it simply asks ‘Who I am to you’ and ‘Firsts for this month’.

With plenty of pages for welcome messages, photos and mementos from family and friends, there is somewhere for everyone important to write a message to the baby and for it to be kept safely along with all those other memories from the first year.

‘Before you arrived’ - what was known along with preparations

‘Your birth day’ - first impressions along with first words, there are prompts to capture everything that would like to be remembered.

‘My greatest achievements’ as well as ‘Your greatest achievements’ - there is room to capture what life was really like as well as celebrating milestones along the way.

The Book of Me & You

Families come in all shapes and sizes. And we think that’s great. So our books make no assumptions on family or relationships. The Book of Me and You can be shared by a child and any special adults - friend, relation, teacher, mentor, god-, guide- or odd-parent. 

The Book of Me and You can be gifted by or to children of any age. We think the stories and prompts inside will mean most to children over 6. And of course they will be treasured well into adulthood as a memory of the people who love them and made their childhood special.
