Aidan just received the book and absolutely loves his new book! We read it twice at bedtime and he had to go to sleep with it right next to his bed. All my children want a book of their own now! Shara’s books are fabulous!!!! I actually have spread the word for you to my other Mom friends so I hope that other people will come see what you do.

I actually meant to write and tell you how big of a hit the books are. When Madeson opened it at her party one of the ladies starting crying she thought it was such a great book. Madeson really likes it. She tries to carry it around with her. Zander likes his too. He likes it when I read it to him. I ask him who the baby is and he smiles at the picture and then at me. They are definitely a hit. Thanks again.

My daughter's favorite book is about her and her dog, created by Personal Child Stories. She thinks it’s so cool that she and her dog are in the book and the book is about them. It is a definite keepsake and I can't wait to surprise someone else with a book of their own. Thank you Personal Child Stories!

I just wanted to let you know that I showed your book and "The Cap Catcher" to 30 Scottsdale teachers yesterday at a training I had at T4T. They LOVED it!! [See Cap Catcher book here.]

I was delighted and amazed at the quality and standard of the book for my son, Alex. It is never easy for a child to understand an operation and "Alex the Brave" was better than my wildest imaginings. My now almost three-year-old will have something to show why he has a scar and it will help him to understand what was done to save his life. We just love it so much that we have donated two copies to the cardiac unit at the Prince Charles (soon to be Mater Children's) Hospital staff for their use in explaining to other parents just what the steps are in their child's operation. Personal Child Stories made this experience a little less daunting and frightening through this wonderfully written book which includes an explanation from the American Cardiac web site (www.americanheart.org). We say a heartfelt thanks, and to borrow a popular phrase..."we'll be back!"
Dear Ally, Chris and Braden,
WOW!!! Thank you so much for that custom made book. It's unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it. It was thoughtful and amazing. We read it every morning at breakfast. Lucy's favorite part is "no more Braden's jumping on the bed" - she knows a good joke when she hears one!
Thanks for everything. Lucy is a very lucky girl to have family like you guys.

I have tears in my eyes. I couldn't love it anymore than I already do. It's Perfect!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't wait for her to see it.!!!!! No notes on my end - and that is pretty strange for me because I am very critical. Shara, you have quite a gift. Let's print it !!

Bob, as you know, really likes the book. He has been with his son and daughter-in-law twice recently, and each time they have told him that they like the book. I think it is amazing. I love looking at it myself.

Just wanted to say thanks so much for the indestructible book! My two toddlers rip, peel, and chew on every book they own and I thought I would never be able to find a book that would last. That is at least until I found Personal Child Stories. They’ve had your book for a few months now and it’s still intact… a true miracle in our house! The best part however is your story – made just for them to encourage them to care for and respect their books. The photos really keep them interested and I think the message is sinking in, too!

My daughter received the counting book for her Birthday and LOVED looking at the pictures of herself. She kept asking me if she could read the book about her! She also counted all of the pictures of herself and when we got to the end, she said, "Again Mommy!" "More counting!" The books keeps her occupied in the car and I know she can't destroy it so it will still be in one piece when we get where we're going! Thanks to Shara for such great work :)
Dodi, Arizona
They LOVED it! They really love the book, and have shown it to everyone – I know you will be hearing from us again – and hopefully some referrals!

I love it because it’s all about me and telling the truth. It helps me remember to tell the truth. I also love how it has my baby brother in it.

The books can help a lot. If you read them to others it helps them know about your situation so they aren't worrying about how you are. The books are great!

from Margo - Columbia, SC:
While working as a classroom aide in a Special Needs classroom during the past ten years, we had a need for books that would help some of our students relate in a much more concrete way with the world outside and at home. We were unsuccessful in finding what we were looking for and decided to make our own books. We felt that one of our students in particular would be helped by such books. With the help of his parents sending in activity photos, we made his personal 'I play baseball book' and 'I love cars' books. The baseball book talked about getting ready for a game, being with friends, and teamwork enjoyment. The book about cars focused on traveling from here to there, various destinations, and types of cars. He absolutely loved the books and read them constantly. Other simpler books were made for some of the other children and in each case they proved to be a good teaching tool.
Children love to see themselves and read about themselves in any situation, and at any level. I am happy to see that Personal Child Stories is making available the option to create these special individualized books – I wish they had been available when we were looking for our students! I will certainly keep them in mind for future use!

Special Education Assistant
Children from toddlers to elementary students will flourish when they experience being in their own unique story. Having worked in special education for 17 years, I have witnessed the dramatic results of the children who use a personalized book. These books enable children to conceptualize in their own environment and relate to those within their world. Whether children have special needs, attend public school, private school or are home-schooled, learning won’t seem like a chore. These books are so beneficial and invaluable to all children.
