A peek inside
How the story unfolds
These are just sample lines. Your book is written fresh from your answers - their name woven through every page, and the three things you tell us quoted word for word in the chapters.
Chapter Two
A Different House
The hallway filled up with small socks and big plans, and nothing was in its old place.
A hallway taken over by boxes, a changing bag and a pile of very small socks.
Chapter Three
What We Wish For You
The last chapter is a list of wishes for the newest person in the family, in your words.
The new family of three on a sofa at dusk, the smallest one asleep across both laps.
These three sample the opening, middle and ending of a 12-chapter book. All twelve are drawn with them in it when the book is made: the cover and chapter one free in your preview, the remaining eleven once you order.
Is this the one?
Who And Then There Were Three is for
And Then There Were Three is for two people becoming parents, given at a baby shower, after a birth, or to a new mother from someone who loves her. You tell us where they were when they heard, what changed at home, and what they wish for the baby, and the chapters are built on those answers. Both parents are drawn from photos, and the baby joins when there is a photo to draw from.
Who it suits, and when
It works before the birth as well as after it: without a photo of the baby, the baby stays in the words and out of the pictures. It suits two mothers, two fathers, or a parent with their own parent beside them, because the second person is whoever you add.
For Noa and Eitan, who painted the nursery twice because neither would admit the first shade was wrong.
