I love to read and am a huge believer that you should read to your child from the earliest ages. I also love gifts that can be personalized so I was very excited to discover I See Me! Personalized Children’s Books. Growing up, I had a personalized storybook that told the story of me and my friends going to the circus. That book has always been one I can remember and I can still remember the storyline and some of the illustrations all because it was personal to me. It used my real name, my actual friends and families names and it was more than just a book….it was MY book.
I See Me was created in May 2000 after a year of active product development by a husband and wife team whose child had received a personalized books but its illustrations were not up to par. They realized how meaningful personalized books are but wanted to offer a higher-quality book that was also educational and would teach young children how to recognize letters and spell their names. Their books have also become popular among famous celebrities like Courtney Cox, Jessica Alba, Brooke Shields, etc. The mission of I See Me is to increase self-esteem in children through personalized books that celebrate the uniqueness of each child. Today, they not only sell personalized storybooks but also personalized floor puzzles and t-shirts!
My husband and I have a new nephew and we are so excited to get to give him an I See Me personalized book. We chose the book, “God Loves You” and after it was personalized the title reads “God Loves Marshall”. This beautiful 8.5 x 8.5 hardback book comes with 20 full-color pages tells the story of how God created everything (including Marshall) and teaches him how much God loves him through his creations. It also teaches Marshall how much God loves him, about His grace, His protection and how special Marshall is to God. The illustrations in this book are so beautifully detailed and the colors on the pages are very vivid and eye-catching. His name is found on almost every page of the book making the story become real and personal to him through the usage of his name. The pages are very nice and thick which means the book stand up to lots of reading and page-turning.
I See Me books offers an amazing selection of all types of personalized books so you can fit any child’s personality and likes. There is a book that teaches your child how to spell their name, princess & pirate books, books for big brothers and sisters, Christmas books, books that can be personalized using the names of an entire family and even a book where you child gets to draw & design the pages. The prices start at $24.95 and up but they are worth every penny of it to know that you are giving a child a personalized storybook that will last them for years to come.
