This fun and colourful book series of 4, was illustrated by Janette Dengo and written by Robyn Dargie. My former business partner and I co-created these fun story keepsakes nearly 20 years after highschool years. The books were published in 2004 and vary in page counts from 28 to 38 on heavy stock for quality and durability. The books are also printed on ACID FREE paper to ensure scrapbook quality and preservation of the photos. They are spiral bound by complimentary colours. Our creations were inspired by our precious children who also grace two of the covers in a playful sketchlike composite. It is such a fun little collection to have. Please contact me directly if you’d like to purchase a book or visit our supporting Volumes Publishing and order directly from them. Thank you for browsing and for your support.
