I created my first I See Me! Book when I was expecting
Savannah. And, since then I have a made a point to personalize books from I See
Me! For the girls for their birthdays and holidays like Christmas and
Easter. They love receiving personalized
books as they love hearing and seeing their names throughout the pages of a
book when we snuggle up at bedtime to enjoy a few good books. Usually I buy a book for each of my girls,
but this time I was excited to see that the folks at I See Me! Had a book with
both my girls in mind.
Last week I created “Savannah & Arabella Go Together
Like…” and within a week I had the book on my doorstep. Like other personalized
books from I See Me! I added special touches to make the book unique for my
girls…from adding their names, a special message from my husband and I to the
girls, and even a few photos of the girls.
I was also able to choose the skin tone and hair color of the
girls. This is the first time I have
created a book that I was able to do this.
With my girls being part Latina, they have their Daddy’s darker
complexion. Oftentimes when we are
reading a story they point out that the characters are all light skinned like
me, and wondered why they didn’t have characters with their darker skin
tone. So, when I shared this
personalized book with the girls the other day, they were happy to see the two
little girls on the front cover with a darker skin tone…even if it was a little
darker than theirs.
My girls really got into this book. I read it on the couch before bedtime and had
them sit on either side of me. As I read
through the pages, they pointed out their names and things about their
characters. Then we got to the pages
where siblings fight. I had to laugh as
the girls were both quick to chime in that fighting is never good…even though
that is what they seem to be doing more of lately. They fight about their toys, what to watch on
television, who gets to listen to what song on the radio, etc. But, when I read about the girls fighting,
they had to interject. Go figure! :-)
When I reached the last page, I was brought to tears, as my
girls hopped up from the couch and gave each other a big hug. My youngest said, “Sisters Forever” before
they both in unison said “I Love You.”
Oh, how I wish I could have bottled up that moment to keep…or least show
them the next time they start fighting. J We have only
had this book about a week now, but the girls can’t get enough of it. It is front and center on our coffee table
and I am asked at least once a day to read it to them together or one on
one. The girls love pointing out their
favorite illustrations and parts of the story.
Savannah especially liked how she was paired with the cat as a pet as
she so desperately wants a cat of her own, but Bella, I and my mother are
allergic, so she can’t have. I as a
parent, really love this wonderfully written story about siblings and how they
go together like…There really is a strong bond between many siblings and this
book captures those special moments perfectly.
This book would make for a great “together” gift to give at Easter, or
simply to create and share at bedtime, to remind siblings just how special and
important they are to each other.

I think I See Me! Books are a wonderful gift. Anything personalized is always special and children enjoy reading books like this. I know my children did.
