Your child changes quickly. One year, he wants to be a veterinarian, astronaut, or inventor. The next year, he has completely different plans. Me: A Compendium gives him a place to capture who he is right now through writing, drawing, questions, and plenty of imagination.
Part journal, part activity book, and part keepsake, this illustrated hardcover invites your child to record favorite things, answer unexpected questions, sketch ideas, share jokes, imagine the future, and document the wonderfully ordinary details that parents know rarely stay the same for long.
Inside, your child might:
- Draw his dream house
- Name his future band
- Share favorite foods, hobbies, and memories
- Predict what he'll look like as an adult
- Record jokes, dreams, plans, and ideas
Be sure to look beneath the dust jacket, too—there's an extra surprise waiting there.
How to Use Me: A Compendium
- Many families find that completing one or two spreads each week keeps the book feeling manageable while stretching the experience across much of the year.
- Encourage your child to answer honestly, creatively, or completely unexpectedly. Whether he is naming a future band, designing a dream house, or imagining life as an adult, there are no perfect answers.
- Because each spread stands on its own, the book works well during quiet time, rainy afternoons, waiting moments, or as part of a regular weekly routine.
- Be sure to explore the dust jacket and cover, too. There are extra details hidden there that many children enjoy discovering.
- Most importantly, resist the urge to correct, improve, or overthink the answers. The goal is simply to capture who your child is right now.

Memory Book

This will be a fun snapshot of second grade to keep long after he has completed the school year! I always love their drawings at this age, and this book is a fun way to store them. The writing and drawing prompts are varied and interesting. My son has enjoyed slowly working through the book this year.

Fun Way to Get Writing
Vanessa H.
This is a super fun way to get a struggling writer to start expressing themselves with writing and illustrating. As the mama of a daughter with dyslexia and dysgraphia this was an exciting opportunity for her to feel safe expressing herself without fear of failure. Super fun to then have a hardcover book she wrote at the end.

I love seeing what my kid writes each day. I love that we will have this keepsake book at the end of the year. Such a great book. My kid loves coloring and drawing in it. It allows them to be creative.

Fantastic Project

My son loves this! He said it makes him feel like a really illustrator. He enjoys spending time drawing on each page and going back to color in his drawings. As a mom I am so excited to have this as a sweet keepsake!
