Verified BuyerOrdered this for my wife from our two kids for Mothers Day. She couldnt get through it without crying. She then went and read it again after dinner. Worth the money.

Verified BuyerMy mum read this to my daughter and they both ended up in tears. Three generations of us on the couch. The book feels really well made too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Could Remember works for children of all ages. The child in the story grows from newborn to their current age, and since it’s designed as a gift for Mom, the primary audience is really the parent receiving it.
You select a character look for three life stages (newborn, toddler, and the child’s current age) plus a look for Mom. All four characters appear throughout the story in age-appropriate scenes.
Absolutely. Many of our orders come from partners, grandparents, and family friends. You just need the child’s name and age, and you can choose character looks that match.
We recommend ordering at least 2 weeks before Mother’s Day for Australian delivery, or 3 to 4 weeks for international shipping. Check our shipping page for current estimated delivery times.
Each book is printed on premium 200gsm silk paper with a hardcover binding. The painterly illustrations are reproduced in full colour with rich detail. It’s a keepsake-quality book made to last.
