First time poster!
My kid is turning 1 soon and I want people (family, friends) to write notes to them in a book so that when they turn 18, we give them the book that they can have to read what their parents’ village wanted to say to them but also is a decent book to have on display if they’d like. I’m thinking more of a coffee table book so that it has bigger pages to write in and aesthetically pleasing pictures. I’m also considering having the book out for every birthday leading up to their 18th, but might just keep it at the first year.
My husband and I did something similar for our wedding guest book. Instead of a blank notebook, I found an Ansel Adams National Park book that people wrote in and it sits on a shelf in our living room and we open it now and then to (sometimes laugh) at what our loved ones wrote while looking at Ansel’s pretty picture of our national parks.
What suggestions does the group have? I’m also going to visit local bookstores to peruse the shelves and see what inspires me but thought I’d ask here.

The classic one that I see people doing when a kid graduates from high school is “Oh The Places You’ll Go” by Dr. Seuss.
