Dear You: A One-Sentence-A-Day Journal and Memory Book for Parents is a tool to help you slow the whirl of parenting and preserve some of the small daily details that make your child--and your relationship with them--so special. Designed to be used with the intention of creating an invaluable gift for your child, or as a personal keepsake, this journal combines 52 weeks of short daily reflections with space for extended writing based on parenting-related prompts. Whether you begin recording moments on your child's birthday, on Mother's or Father's Day, or on an average Tuesday, you will never regret taking a few minutes each day for one year to reflect on your dear one, record a small memory of them, and in that way, capture a bit of their childhood for you to revisit, even when they're grown.

About the author
Emily Brisse's writing has appeared in publications including The Washington Post, The New York Times, Parents Magazine, Creative Nonfiction's True Story, The Sun, Ninth Letter, Lumina, and River Teeth. Her work has been shortlisted for the Curt Johnson Prose Award and Invisible City Award, nominated for Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize, and awarded a Minnesota Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant. She takes great satisfaction in cultivating an appreciation in others for language and storytelling, which is probably why she teaches high school English during the weekdays and creates journals for individuals and parents in her spare time. In lieu of the old-school blog she once hosted, she now writes about presence and positivity (not the toxic kind) on Instagram at @emilybrisse.
