Reading Is Magic: A Book Log for Families

A family keepsake journal for parents and children to record the magic of reading together

Reading Is Magic is a guided journal in which families can capture that magical period when parents and children read together. It begins with a foreword by New York Times bestselling author and independent bookstore owner Emma Straub and contains recommended reading lists, entry pages for logging each book as you read, and superlative pages for noting a child’s favorite authors, illustrators, and characters. There are also entry pages where parents can reminisce about their own childhood reading memories.

A wonderful gift to give at a baby shower or for any special occasion (along with a few books, of course!), Reading Is Magic is a unique way for parents to record memories with their children.

Emma Straub is the New York Times-bestselling author of the novels Modern Lovers and The Vacationers. Her fiction and nonfiction have been published in Vogue, New York magazine, Tin House, the New York Times, Good Housekeeping, and the Paris Review Daily. Straub lives with her husband and two sons in Brooklyn, where she owns and runs the independent bookstore Books Are Magic.
