Personalised Namkaran book: I was there when you got your name

For children aged 0 to 4

The itchy new clothes. Being told to be quiet at exactly the most interesting moment. The food you are not allowed to touch yet.

The whole day told by the older brother or sister, who is half bored and half enormously proud. And when the name is finally said out loud, they are the first one to repeat it, louder than everybody else.

This is the one book in the set written for the older child rather than the baby, which makes it a good present for a brother or sister who is getting slightly less attention than usual.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this book for?

The older brother or sister, not the baby. It is told from their point of view and written to be read to them.

Why would I give a book to the older child?

Because a new baby usually means a lot of attention going somewhere else. This gives the older one their own version of the day, in which they matter.

What age is it for?

Roughly 3 to 7, which is the age where a child both notices the fuss and can be told to sit still through it.

Can both children be in it?

Yes. The older child is the main character and the baby is in the story throughout. Fill in both names.
