One of my most cherished keepsakes is a “prompt” journal my mom helped me keep as a young child. No matter my age, I have always loved flipping back through those pages to look at my childhood self, and I have always been thankful for the time my mom spent helping me capture that childhood in my own words and drawings.  

When my own daughter became old enough to have a journal of her own, my search for the perfect "first journal" came up surprisingly unsuccessful.  There just wasn’t anything on the market that was quite right.  That’s when I decided to create my own journal full of inspiring and age appropriate writing and drawing prompts for young children.

I hope you and your child enjoy working on the journal together as much as we have.
