This echo stirred so deeply that it sparked a movement – one where mothers, like you, can share the forever words they hope to pass on. These words will live on illustrated post-it notes, filling the inside front and back pages of a children’s picture book designed to help children hold onto who they truly are, no matter what the world around tells them.
Words like the ones you already whisper at bedtime. Or the ones you never heard, but longed for.
Words like:
“You are stronger than you know.”
“You are worthy just as you are.”
“You are enough.”
And before the story even begins, the book will open to an extraordinary wall of illustrated post-it notes – filled with phrases from mothers around the world.
So, if there’s something you hope your child will always remember, something you’d write on their heart if you could, you’re invited to share your forever words here, and they can find their home in the picture book to be published this summer.
What’s one sentence you hope your child carries forever?
Let’s shape their story, together – one forever word at a time.
Angharad Davies is a children’s author and founder of the ‘Shape Their Story’ movement – a global invitation to mothers to share the words they hope live on in their children’s hearts. These messages will be featured in an upcoming picture book that forms part of a wider method for building emotional resilience in early childhood. Her mission is to break down the barriers that keep emotional wellbeing out of reach, by making powerful tools simple, low-cost, and accessible to every child, everywhere.
