Our New Year read

We read it on New Year’s Eve and each made a wish. My son’s was to learn to ride a bike.
Mei L.

She’s the star of the story!

My daughter kept pointing at the pages and saying, “That’s me!” Reading a story with her name in it makes bedtime feel extra special.

The sweetest gift

We gave this to our grandson for his birthday and he wouldn’t put it down. A book we’ll treasure together.
Christopher L.

Worth every page

The first time he saw his name on the cover he gasped. Now he “reads” it to his baby sister every single night.
Tamika J.

Grandma cried

We mailed one to his grandparents and they said it was the best gift they’d ever gotten. They read it on every video call.
Daniel O.

She asks for it by name

It’s the first thing she grabs at bedtime. We’ve read it so many times I know it by heart, and I don’t mind at all.
