When graphic artist Ryan Maconochie became a father he searched for a baby book that melded his design aesthetic with the opportunity to chronicle his daughter s first year. He couldn t find anything so he made one. "This Is Your Book "gives parents an opportunity to record more than just the vital statistics about their baby s birth. It also offers an opportunity to reflect on the pop culture that surrounds the big day. From basic info such as baby s height, birth hospital, and hair color, to amusing recollections of all the baby names that were ruled out, "This Is Your Book "utilizes current events, maps, and of-the-moment factoids to tell the story of the child s first year and will become a fun stimulus for conversation and education with children in the years to come.

You ve seen baby books before. Maybe you ve even made a scrapbook for your kid. But you ve never seen a book like this. It s modern, beautiful, and full of unique prompts about pop culture.
