Before the story begins, love is already there.
Before a name is spoken.
Before a life takes shape.
Before a single moment is seen or held-
a child is already known, already dreamed of, and already loved.
Before Your Story Began is a tender, lyrical picture book that captures the quiet, sacred anticipation that comes before a child arrives. Through gentle, poetic language and soft, imaginative illustrations, it reflects the hopes, dreams, and wonder that grow in the waiting-those unseen moments when a story is just beginning.
Each page invites readers into a world of possibility: of whispered questions, imagined futures, and a love that deepens long before a first hello. It is a celebration of beginnings-not just the moment a child is born, but all the moments that come before.
This beautifully illustrated keepsake is perfect for:
- expecting parents preparing to welcome a new baby
- baby showers and pregnancy announcements
- adoption journeys and long-awaited arrivals
- grandparents, family, and loved ones who share in the anticipation
Written to be read slowly and treasured deeply, this is a story that grows more meaningful with time-one that can be returned to again and again, long after the waiting has passed.
Whether given as a heartfelt gift or read aloud in quiet moments, Before Your Story Began is a reminder that every life begins surrounded by love.
Because every story starts before we ever know its name.
