I gave this to my wife on her first Mother's Day and she cried happy tears. Every page felt like it was written just for us.
The illustrations were stunning. Way beyond what I expected. Our love book is now framed in our living room.
My daughter asks to read her Christmas book every single night. It really feels like her story.
Ordered the hardcover for my mom's birthday and the print quality was incredible. She keeps it on her nightstand.
