New baby

A new baby arrives with more clothes than anyone can use and three identical soft toys. A personalized new baby gift is the one present that survives the first year: an illustrated book with the baby's name on the cover, the first one in a library that is only just starting.

Who the book is for

Depending on who is receiving it, the same occasion gives you a different book:

• For the baby: a gentle story to read out loud, with their name, their room and the people who hold them
• For the older sibling: how they became a big brother or sister, which is the harder half of the news
• For the parents: the day it all began, told for them to keep
• For grandparents and godparents: their own place in the story, illustrated from a photo

You write the moments, pick the illustration style and approve every page before printing, so nothing arrives as a surprise except the book itself.

In time for the hospital visit

The digital edition is ready in minutes, which is the answer when the baby has come early and the visit is tomorrow. The hardback is the one that stays: it ends up on the shelf next to the first photos and it is still being read four years later. You can add the narrated audiobook for the nights when nobody has a free hand.

Read a finished example first: Ivan's Biggest Job, six years old and in charge of choosing the baby's name. There are more in new baby stories, and the rest of the occasions to give a story.
