Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader: The Best Personalized Books for Kids

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.”— Dr. Seuss, “I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!”

My Very Own World Adventure is an educational storybook, in which your child travels around the world on a magic carpet. During visits to various world countries, his or her first and last names are spelled out letter-by-letter according to the countries that he or she visits – D for Denmark, etc. The child’s name is revealed as the pages are turned. The book features a personalized passport with stamps from the countries that the child has visited, a personalized world map showing which countries the child has visited, and an encyclopedia featuring 63 different world countries.
Written by award-winning author Maia Haag storybook is illustrated by 63 different international artists from around the world, who have collaborated to create a very unique story that truly represents the world.  Buy it HERE
An early love of reading is essential to the education of all children.  Experts say reading out loud to babies is important, even if they can’t understand yet.  They hear sounds, inflections and words that eventually help them to speak.  Books are often our most memorable and cherished gifts, especially at the holidays.  They make great stocking stuffers, perfect presents for friends or a thoughtful sentiment for a child.

-What to get a new baby?  His or her own personalized book, of course.  Include a heartfelt message in the book along with the date, to make it more memorable.

-If your boss has children, give them a personalized storybook to show that you have put some extra thought into the gifts.  Kudos for you too!

-If your child is doing Secret Santa at school, give his buddy a customized book and have your child write a special note on the inside cover.

-A world-traveler?  How about a coffee table book on a place he hasn’t been yet

-Start a family tradition with your spouse and children.  Focus on a hobby, a favorite country, loved cuisine, or a famous author.

-And don’t forget a fun bookmark!
