For a First Birthday
A Personalized First Birthday Book
Mark a first birthday with a book about the year that changed everything, starring the baby and everyone who loves them.
One whole year, drawn into a story they will grow up reading.
A first year is over before you can hold it
The first year goes by faster than any year after it. A book is a way to slow it down: the firsts, the faces, the small ordinary days, all kept in one place.
A gift the birthday baby keeps
They won't remember the party. They'll grow up with the book, and one day read the story of their own first year for themselves.
The whole first family
The parents, the grandparents, the pets, everyone who spent that year loving this baby becomes a character in the book.
Ideas to Start With
Every book begins with a moment. Here are a few to spark yours.
The Year of Firsts
First smile, first step, first word. The milestones of one extraordinary year.
A Day in the First Year
One ordinary day, morning to night, with the people who made it. The days you don't want to forget.
Happy First Birthday
The party itself: the cake, the candle, the family gathered close around one small person.
Your book begins set to this occasion, with these ideas as starting points. You can change anything.
Take a Look Inside a Finished Book
