We, Your Parents, Were Once Children, Too

We, Your Parents, Were Once Children, Too is not just a rhyming picture book - it’s a poetic bridge between generations.With gentle humor, warmth, and a touch of wistfulness, this beautifully illustrated book speaks to the bond between parents raised in a different era - hopscotch, mixtapes, vending machine sodas - and their children, growing up in a world of screens, swipes, and emojis. It’s a tribute to memory, imagination, and the moments that shape us.Told in lyrical verses, this book invites young readers to peek into the playful, analog world of their parents’ childhoods, while giving adults a deeply nostalgic reminder of simpler times. It’s about backyard adventures, cassette tape soundtracks, and the magic that came not from pixels, but from dust, laughter, and dreams.Whether you’re a parent reading to your child, a teacher sharing it with your class, or a nostalgic adult looking for a meaningful gift, We, Your Parents, Were Once Children, Too is a timeless celebration of childhood, memory, and emotional connection across generations.For the grown-ups - it’s a warm hug of nostalgia. For kids and teens - it’s a gentle message from the past: When you grow up, one day, remember how to be a child. (At least a bit, and in some way.)Perfect for fans of Shel Silverstein, Roald Dahl, or poetic books that speak to both children and the adults who read with them.
