See the magic in their eyes

Some of you may have come across this on Facebook.  It is such a beautiful idea that I had to share it.

I've mentioned before my obsession with children's books.  I love reading them to my kids, especially when it involves getting into silly characters that make my kids laugh until their bellies hurt.  I love looking at the beautiful illustrations, and seeing my kids appreciate them with total wonder.  And mostly, I love the precious cuddles while we read. I was a total book worm growing up and really hope my kids will love to read as much as I do.  So anything that encourages their love for reading, I'm down for. 

I was so excited when a friend told me about lostmy.name.  I literally ordered the books for Yousef and Kenz that same day.  What a brilliant idea! Personalised children's books that really give the child a special and personal experience.  The Little Girl (or Boy) Who Lost Her/His Name is a story about the girl or boy going on a magical adventure to find their name.  It was so awesome to watch each of my kids' eyes slowly get bigger and their faces light up as they realised the book I was reading was about them. The book is not only a great story but the illustrations and the quality of the print are perfection.

 

                     

It's such a great addition to your children's libraries and ordering the book is a breeze. You fill in your child's details (including hair color etc.), you can select the characters for each letter, and voila! They ship it to you anywhere in the world for free.  I think the books I ordered took less than a week to get to me in Dubai.  And each book costs less than 20 GBP!  It can also be such a thoughtful gift.  I sent one to a girl I adore and she loved it (so did her mom).

And now they are publishing their second personalised book called The Incredible Intergalactic Journey Home, where you input a child's address and the story revolves around where they live. They currently only support addresses in the UK and US but are going to expand globally soon. Can't wait!!
