Tatiana Pena Montenegro and Kathleen Assad Lamata, two enterprising mothers who at one time saw delight in their daughters faces upon being made the princesses of their own bedside fairy tales, started a unique business called “Look It’s About Me” in August last year.

“Look It’s About Me” sells personalized storybooks where the child is actually the protagonist of the story.

The aim of the business was simple: to encourage children’s love for reading by creating beautifully written and illustrated hardcover storybooks that would enhance and capture their imagination.

“We thought it would be amazing to create a real hardcover book that is professionally bound where the child is the protagonist of the story.  It is amazing to see the reaction of children when they read about themselves,” says Tatiana. According to its owners, “Look It’s About Me” personalized storybooks made learning fun for children while also helping increase their self-esteem.

“The customers love the idea of a personalized book and understand how special the child will feel if they receive such a gift. It is nice to give a present with a personal touch that will always be remembered,” Kathleen added.

At present, “Look It’s About Me” has four titles available, namely My Super Duper Birthday Party (where forest animals come together to prepare a party for the child), My Magical Christmas Adventure (where the child receives a special invitation from Santa to visit the North Pole and visit Santa’s workshop), My Great Space Race (where the child is taken on a journey around the milky way discovering planets, while participating in an exciting space race) and My Underwater Adventure (where the child goes on an underwater adventure to save some sea turtles stuck in a net). Each storybook is sold at P1,200.

“Look It’s About Me” personalized storybooks are not only available in the Philippines at present but are currently sold in Singapore and Hong Kong as well. In the Philippines, “Look It’s About Me” personalized storybooks are available through its online portal at www.lookitsaboutme.com and are also available at Fully Booked (High Street branch) and Tie Me Up Buttercup in Greenbelt 5.
