There is one type of gift that I enjoy buying more than any other and it is books.
I love to buy books for family and friends, trying to match stories to the people I know and love.
A few months ago I came across Lost My Name and was blown away.
Three Dads and one uncle work together to create stunning personalised books for children.
Each book is as unique as the name it represents
Every A4 page is a piece of artwork with a modern rhyming text.
The book is a combination of classical creatures, magical figures and children’s imagination.
The story is a journey, a quest, a mission to find your name!
Each page sees another adventure in a new location with characters that are leaping from the page.
And the main character?
Your little one, or whoever’s name you choose.
We have three of these books
One for William, one for Esther and one for Matilda Mae.
Each their very own story about the day they lost their name.
We love to read them together.
Esther and William adore reading theirs over and over.
They love the troll and the giant squid, the mardy mermaid and the enormous elephant.
These are books that are great to read aloud.
This is why I love the fact that we have one for Tilda
So that whenever we want to we can read her story and say her name
Shout her name out loud in celebration
In celebration of finding her name!
These beautifully illustrated books are very special indeed
The print quality is wonderful
The pages are stiff and sturdy
Safe in toddler hands
These Lost My Name books make great presents for babies
Perhaps christening, first Christmas or first birthday
These books are great for toddlers
Who love the sound of their own name
These books are great for preschoolers
Who are learning to recognise letters and sounds
These books are great for young school children
Who are starting their own reading adventure
Lost My Name Books make the perfect present
For names that must never be forgotten
Just like Matilda Mae
I think these books would be a lovely gift for a family who have lost much more than a name
They could be a magical way of remembering
And saying a special name over and over again
What a quite amazingly brave and courageous little girl –
called…
Matilda Mae
Lost My Name books are a perfect gift for so many occasions and for people of all ages.
I know that we will treasure ours for always.
Esther, William and Matilda Mae.

The one thing I want to leave my children is an honorable name.

We were given three books for the purpose of this review
Oh these really are stunning!
You really should do more book readings too. You really make the characters and the book come alive! xx
Never come across these before but they are FAB! Such a precious gift! Thank you for telling us all about them!
I have already ordered these fro my twins and cannot wait to see them!!
Thanks for this review. It’s just what I’m after! I just jumped on and bought one 🙂
How beautiful, the books look stunning, and what a particularly gorgeous way to celebrate MM’s name – love the idea that you can read the book whenever you want and shout out her name through the story. Simply stunning. Am off to order two for my girls right now for Christmas, thanks for this lovely review xx
What lovely, good quality products, you read so nicely-I always loose track of my different voices in stories, can hear that you are a teacher 🙂
