Four Tell Me Your Life Story journals: Grandpa, Dad, Mom and Grandma

Perfect for

  • Mother’s Day
  • Father’s Day
  • Birthdays
  • Christmas

You know them. But do you know their story?

  • You know their jobs and addresses, but not the small things: the song they danced to, their lucky number, what they were afraid of at twelve.
  • Asking out loud rarely works. Writing gives them time to remember and room to answer properly.
  • A finished journal becomes the one book in the family nobody else can ever write.

One for every storyteller

Same 200+ prompts, a cover made for each of them.
