Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Encouraging children to explore what is unique and special about themselves, Growing Up Me is a guide designed for parents, mentors and educators to use when helping children create a scrapbook that showcases their extraordinary young lives. Each chapter in Growing Up Me is divided into a role that is common to a child's life, such as family, school, friendship, day-dreams and spirituality. After defining the role and explaining why it is important, Pedersen includes prompts to aid in journaling and lists ideas for photos, memorabillia and quotations that would help each child illustrate each particular role in his or her life. The final chapters provide journaling prompts and exercises that inspire children to look to the future and envision and research the possiblities for what they would like to become. Growing Up Me encourages children to document their dreams, providing their own roadmap to the future. Also a guide for crafters to use when creating scrapbook pages about the children in their lives, the book is illustrated with examples from Pedersen and her children, as well as 37 other children and their parents, who submitted a total of 71 of the book's scrapbook page layouts.




Rating: - Excellent!!!
I love this book and Angie's other books as well. She does a great job of providing inspiration to scrap and journal your way through creating a book about your growing up years. I would not say it's a great book to get layout ideas for, but I don't think that's what her purpose is. You can find layout ideas anywhere, but it's difficult to start from the beginning and create a book about your life. Angie helps you do this in an organized way, and some of her journaling prompts have helped me to recall ... Read More

Rating: - I use this book in MY Scrapbook classes for kids!
This book is not intended to be a book full of awesome ideas and techniques, but a book that helps CHILDREN make scrapbooks of their lives. I use this book in my ever popular KROPPIN' KIDS classes and the participants (kids) are always inspired by knowing that many of the layouts are done by other children their age. I would reccomend anyone who teaches children, scrapbooking or otherwise, to use the ideas in this book. A great way to empower our kids!

Rating: - Awesome for CHILDHOOD albums
This book has ideas for use with children in documenting their lives as they view it as well as for the adult who is backing up and documenting their own. I am always amazed at this author's ability to take it to the next step in my own thinking for scrapbooking. This book does not have as many PHENOMENAL layouts as you find in her BOOK OF US, but it is created by children, who generally are not the artistic creators like you find in magazines or other idea books. Instead, she has hosted a place to see ... Read More

Rating: - Shockingly disappointing
I was surprised at some of the ideas in this book being very poorly planned and lacking any sort of expertise. The author takes a very short list of ideas of ways to see your children (who their friends are, what sports they play, what they like in school, what their dreams are) and tries to stretch it into an entire book without originality or creativity. I was terribly disappointed with the lack of effort the author made compared to cheaper options filled with more information, even a basic scrapping ... Read More

Rating: - ...not my cup of tea...
I bought this book together with the "book about us" from the same author. It is a book that could be interesting if you have children and want to document thier growing up. I didn't really see the use: the projects are not really ones I would tend to create: the subjects did not appeal to me and the layouts did not inspire me, which is strange as I really loved the "book about us".
