A gift for a close friend's growing family, made to celebrate the arrival of their third child. Three small paper-covered notebooks, one for each child, alongside a larger journal for mom and dad bound in goatskin. The endpapers and kids covers were hand-printed Japanese papers. To round out the set, a special paperback storybook for the elder brothers, with ideas to inspire their own journal writing.
