The coolest place you ever traveled
Something that makes you mad
Your best hidden talent
Your secret hideout as a kid
The greatest costume you ever wore
And more questions they might never think to ask!

With prompts about your memories, your feelings and values, your goals and dreams, and everything that makes you a special person, Before You is a gift for every type of family—one that will only become more treasured as your child grows.
