We designed this book for parents who want a baby book with less statistics and more heart. Childhood, A History is a place to write down your child's story in a meaningful, but non-overwhelming way.

About the Book

The book’s prompts focus less on statistics and more on the heart - their ideas, passions, special talents, and funny quirks.

Spanning from birth to eighteen (including two pages for pregnancy) it includes yearly sections for birthdays, adventures, interests, and fun age-appropriate prompts.

Whether you’re a brand new parent or your child is a bit older and you want to “catch up” (it’s not too late!) this journal is designed to help you capture little windows into who your child is and who they are becoming.

- 80# text, partially recycled paper

No-Hassle Returns

Not sure if this journal is right for you? We get it, sometimes you just need to have it in your hands. Go ahead order the book, open it, flip through the pages, and if you decide it’s not the right fit for you simply send it back using our return portal.

Less Statistics, More Heart

After feeling guilty about missing time-sensitive things in our own kids' baby books, we spent a year designing a book focused less on documenting statistics and more on the things that actually matter - the moments, memories, and unique insights that we’d want to cherish for years to come.

Didn't start when they were babies?

Neither did we! The good news is, this is the journal where (with the help of your photos on your phone) going back is actually possible. And remember, it doesn’t need to be perfect! It just needs to be heartfelt.

Built to Last Generations

An heirloom to be passed on to future generations, these books are made in the US with the highest quality materials.The covers are made of cotton linen and the books are smyth-sewn bound, making them layflat and virtually indestructible.

Great book

Very straightforward and easy to use baby book that captures all of childhood and adolescence rather than the first few years. I’d love if there were spots to place photos.

Paige's Review

As a first time mom, this is an absolute treasure. I love the freedom Kept brings to be as creative as you want, yet keeping things very simple as well. The layout is so lovely and will be treasured for many years. I look forward to getting one for each child as our family continues to grow!

Love this

I am so bad about baby books and keeping track of memories. This makes it simple, and it’s the memories that we truly care about!

Simple

I like the simplicity of this book. I’m not a big journal-er so this is nice! I bought two and just started on one!

Heirloom quality and the prompts all give more insight into my kids personality than the typical baby book.

Incredible quality!

I’m so glad I finally purchased these. I got one for each of my boys and I’m so excited to fill them in over the years. The heirloom quality is wonderful.

Stylish and easy

I love the prompts, it makes it so easy to use. I also love that there are a few blank pages to keep photos, though I wish there were more.

Perfect for a new chapter

As a mom of a transgender teen girl, I was thrilled to receive her new Kept baby book and start working on it. Although I started one for her when she was little, I never got very far (and now am glad I didn't put too much effort into it back then). How special to be able to start over, using her new name and highlighting special memories in this unique format! Being "deadnamed" can be very upsetting/painful to transgender folks who just want to focus on who they are now. I am so glad to be able to create a memory book for her without reinventing the wheel. Thank you, Kept!
