Oliver Finds His Way is a sweet children’s book, too.

I never thought about a book with my daughter’s name in the title until someone gave it to me as a shower gift! That was 2001 and there was only one children’s book in print with her name and her spelling: Three Cheers for Catherine the Great. Now I’m always on the lookout for titles with her name AND I don’t have to kill myself trying think about “the perfect” new baby gift anymore!

Oddly it has NEVER occurred to me to get books for my girls that include their names. How silly of me! Now I am on a quest. Thanks for the idea.

I would have loved to do that for my daughter when she was little Anne-Marie. But sadly there weren’t many books — or anything else for that matter — featuring the name Seona. I used to jump on anything that would custom name their product as none of the regular products covered her name. Fortunately she loves her name anyway.
