My Very Own World Adventure (ISeeMe)
My Very Own World Adventure
This book starts out with a dedication page with the baby’s name and birthdate and a little note from you. Then the story starts with beautiful illustrations and talks about going on a magic carpet ride. look how wonderful they do it:
“Let’s Go, (name), on a magic carpet ride!
Join me and my friends, and we’ll be your guides!
We’re off for adventure! How much fun this will be!
Your name is the clue to the countries we’ll see.
We’ll fly over mountains and deserts of sand
to meet children who will give you a gift from their land”
The book then takes your child on a tour through the letters of their name, where each letter takes you to a country whose name starts with that letter. With each letter, they introduced a new country and a child from the country. The child from the country will tell about their country and a custom or tradition and they will present a gift to the reader where the gift has some local significance. For instance, with S and Spain, the child presents a gift of castanet Or with I and Ireland, the child present a harp.
“A symbol of Ireland for hundreds of years, the harp makes a sound that’s a gift to your ears”
The back of the book includes small versions of all 63 countries available so you can see all pictures, not just those in the name presented.
Remember if your child’s name is too short like “Eva King” then you can also use the middle name as well. Just make it fun for her to see more amazing things in other countries.
You can also look inside the book here.
another amazing thing about this book is that $1 of every purchase will be donated to Room to Read to help support global literacy. Room to Read is an award-winning non-profit organization for improving literacy and gender equality in education in the developing world.
This is a very cool personalized book for a little kid. I know my 3 year old will love it. I think I just might have found her a Christmas gift (:
Thank you so much!
Hi Susy,
The moment you start reading the book to her, she will be amazed by hearing her name in the story. Enjoy! and happy Christmas to you and your daughter.
Cheers
hi!
OMG! I am absolutely in love with this project. If I had a child I would order it right now. I am actually tempted to order one for myself 🙂 lol. I love the concept of introducing your child to traditions of different countries around the globe. My parents always encouraged my sister and I to learn new languages and customs and to travel. So I certainly want to do the same if I have a child. It is such a unique and touching gift. Thank you for introducing me to it.
Hi Emily,
Well, that would be an idea lol. that’s one of my favorite books they have and the reason is exactly what you said. I traveled a lot and I know as long as you put people together they will figure out to understand each other. Separate them and they will be afraid of each other. It’s good to show your kid that in other parts of the world there are people who are nice and have their own tradition. It can open a window to show your child the world he lives in.
Thanks for sharing your personal experience with us,
Cheers
This is a great book for your child. It’s fun to read and a great educational tool. I think it’s great that kids are learning about the world around them.
Hi Kevin,
I absolutely agree with you on this book being an educational tool. It will give your kid the lead to know more about the world around her. It’s even more fun when you notice you are going around the world to build your own name. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
cheers
Great idea for a present, unfortunately my boys are too old for it now but my nephew would love it. Is there a limit to the amount of letters in the name?
Thanks
Hi Dan,
The limit is 15 letters for the first and last name. So in total 30 letter. I’m sure your nephew would like it.
Cheers
What I fun idea! The book sounds great and would make I great gift. I also like the $1 donation to global literacy. I think its great that this trend of giving profits to charity seems to be growing.
Hi Mo,
I also like this trend and it’s really positive thing. I think this 1$ would help a lot of people. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Cheers
I just can’t get over how good of an idea that personalized storeys for young children. it really seems like it would build a bonding opportunity as well as put personal achievement into it for the little one. Do you find that these types of stories have a different effect on the kids growth?
Hey Jim,
I’m glad you are also into this personalized book like me. Whatever that can increase your child self-esteem in the right way can be very helpful for his/her health. The other positive thing about it is that it makes child and parents bonds even more. So it will help your child’s development for sure.
Cheers
