One more question.

One day your child may return to these stories to discover who they were. Until then, they are just as much for you.
While your child is discovering the world for the first time, you're discovering a new version of yourself too. Learning their rhythms. Seeing the ordinary differently. Finding meaning in things you would once have walked past.
Keepsake exists as an invitation to pause. To remember not only who they were becoming, but who you were becoming alongside them.

The questions that filled every car ride.
The made-up words that quietly became part of the family.
The favourite spoon that somehow travelled everywhere.
