When we first brought our adopted children home from Ethiopia (at ages 2.5 and 5), I had a very difficult time finding board books about adoption. That inspired the idea for me to create one! "From My Heart You Came", is a tender journey through the thoughts and emotions of a mother's heart for her adopted child. Here are more tidbits about the book:
-The book is written in a rhyming pattern.
-Each book is individually created by-hand.
-The pages are laminated for added strength and durability in the hands of little ones (who desire to chew and tear things).
-The book is bound together by colorful key rings accented with heart-shaped plastic beads.
-Each book is numbered by hand
-The book is 13 pages long, and the last page of the book contains a clear pocket to hold a favorite 3x5 photo of Mommy and child.
-The book is 6x9 in size...fits great in purses and diaper bags!
-The cost of the book is $20 and includes FREE SHIPPING in the US only.
-You can pay through PayPal by clicking the "Buy Now" button on the right side of this page or if you would prefer to send me a check directly please send an email to ballarddesigns@yahoo.com for more information. Thanks!!!
I am self-creating, self-publishing and self-marketing this book, so please feel free to help me spread the word!
Enjoy a few sample pages!...
*When ordering a book...or two ;0) please expect variations in the color of rings and heart beads. Also, remember each book is made by hand (with lots of love).
I hope mommies and their "little ones" truly enjoy this book and that it becomes a family favorite for many!
Heidi, what an incredible book!!! I can't wait to get my hands on one... or two (be a great gift for friends who are/have adopted!).
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
What a great book. I hope you have many sales! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a really cute book! I love the way it is bound. Many blessings on your endeavor.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I love the artwork!
ReplyDeleteI love this book. It's wrapped and under our tree, for our little baby boy in Ethiopia.
ReplyDeleteThis book is FABULOUS! I can't wait to be able to read it to our boys currently in Ethiopia. This book will DEFINITELY be something that I take over with us so I can read it to them often. I love that there is a place in the back of the book to insert a favorite photo. Every adoptive mommy should get this book!
