The format, design and internals were very important to us. Our idea was to have a baby book that was very comprehensive and allowed people to remove pages without altering the overall look of the book. We were so proud that we managed to publish a book that included adoption and assisted conception. (When we did our research we found that other books did not include these.) We also loved the fact that if you were too busy and missed a month, you could remove the page and your child would never know.....

A Book About Me was born in late 2005. Shortly after the art work arrived at the printers we both realised that we were pregnant, due two weeks apart in March 2006. (Fiona with her third and me with my second) Monica arrived in late Feb and Georgia arrived in mid March.

It was going to be a challenge distributing the books ourselves while tending to the new babies. It all went very well as we sold 4,000 books before the girls turned 1.
