Emily adores drawing. Absolutely adores it. I can see the same spark of creativity in her that I once had at her age, and it fills me with joy. To nurture her artistic passion, I’ve had her artwork printed on everything from t-shirts to dinner plates, and I even let her decorate her room with her masterpieces, just like my parents did for me.
However, nothing has excited me quite like our latest endeavor. I scanned some of Emily’s best drawings into the computer, flipped a few frowns into smiles, and pieced them together to weave a (somewhat) cohesive narrative. This project feels especially timely since we may be relocating soon. Here’s a little glimpse of our creation.
To bring this book to life, I turned to Lulu.com, where I was able to design, print, and bind it. I can hardly wait for it to arrive! For larger projects, I’ve used Blurb.com previously, which offers excellent quality for printed books. The total cost for Emily’s personalized book? Just seven bucks! But the real treasure lies in the fact that she can hold, read, and share a book that she helped create—truly priceless. It’s definitely the best gift I’ve ever given.

In summary, creating a book from your child’s artwork is a beautiful way to celebrate their creativity and make lasting memories.
