Baptism & Christening
A baptism is photographed from every angle and remembered by nobody who was at the centre of it. These stories keep the day itself, and they are still there years later when the questions start.

Three example books from this collection. Every story is written fresh from your own prompt, so no two families end up with the same one.
Story 01
A Baptism Day to Remember
Water, promises, and a whole family gathered for the day faith begins.
A baptism gets photographed from every angle, and the photographs end up in a folder on somebody's phone. This is the version that sits on a shelf.
The day itself, made into a book while it is still recent: the font, the water, the people who stood close, and the promises spoken out loud on the baby's behalf.
Your baby is at the centre of it, drawn from your own photographs. It is the kind of book that tends to come from whoever was standing closest at the font.
- What it draws on
- The gathering, the font, the water, the promises, and the candle afterwards.
- Your child's part
- The centre of the day, and of every page.
Story 02
Welcomed by Name
The moment a name is spoken aloud and a whole community answers.
The moment a name is said aloud in a church and a whole congregation answers is genuinely strange and rather moving, and children ask about it afterwards.
That moment is the heart of it: the saying of the name, and all the faces turning in at once.
It suits a child who wants to know why their name matters, and it is a natural gift from godparents, who are in it.
- What it draws on
- The name spoken aloud, the congregation answering, and the people who promised to help.
- Your child's part
- The one being named and welcomed.
Story 03
The Water and the Promise
What the water means, explained gently enough for the child it was poured over.
Sooner or later a child asks what the water was for, and the honest answer takes more than one sentence.
These stories give it room, working through what the water means at a pace a young child can follow, using the shell, the font and the light on the surface rather than abstract language.
Your child is looking on from close by, which makes the explanation feel like something being shown to them rather than told at them.
- What it draws on
- What the water stands for, why it is poured, and what was promised alongside it.
- Your child's part
- Close at the font, watching it happen.
