An award-winning childhood journal covering 18 years together, designed to help you create a unique keepsake your daughter will treasure forever.
The beautifully color illustrated journal has been lovingly created featuring a baby bird that grows up each year until it’s ready to fly the nest. With spaces for photos and memorabilia, it provides prompts to help parents chronicle family experiences and unrepeatable moments, including the child’s growth, development and personality, precious family memories and the wonderful emotional journey.
As a parent, there’s often little time to sit down and reflect, let alone write down key memories. With Our Story For My Daughter, start a new tradition and allow just an hour or two each year, perhaps on your daughter’s birthday, to reminisce about the year gone by. The guided prompts will help you to record what would otherwise so easily get forgotten. Once completed, the journal can be passed on to your daughter as a very precious keepsake.
•A section per year of your daughter’s life
