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, daydreams and spirituality. After defining the role and explaining why it is important, Pedersen includes prompts to aid in journaling and lists ideas for photos, memorabilia 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 possibilities 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.
