He’s Told You the Short Version. Now Get the Whole Story.
You Know Him as Dad. But Who Was He Before You?
You know his go-to sayings, his rules for the grill, and exactly how he’ll react when someone loads the dishwasher wrong. But do you know what his first car was? What he and his buddies got up to on a Saturday night? Who he was before he was anyone’s dad?
Most of us never think to ask, and most dads don’t volunteer it. This journal asks for you.
Dad, This Story’s About You is a full-color guided journal with 500+ prompts that gets him talking about the parts of his life you’ve only heard in bits and pieces. He fills it in, hands it back, and you keep his story for good.
It’s not a blank notebook with a question at the top of every page. It’s games, lists, throwbacks, and the real stuff, built for dads who “aren’t writers.”
More Than a Journal. His Whole Story.
Ten chapters take him from growing up to the wisdom he’d pass down, starting with the fun stuff and working up to the real stuff.
Start with the fun with dad jokes, hot takes, the Dad Awards, and his signature dad moves.
Go back in time to his chores and first money, the soundtrack of his teens, the crew, and what things cost back then.
Meet the guy before Dad with his first car, his first paycheck, the bold moves, and the meet-cute, told his way.
Get to the real stuff with becoming Dad, the skills he could teach, the best calls he ever made, and a letter written just for you.
A Few Pages at a Time. No Essays. Just His Story.
He doesn’t need to be a writer to fill this in. The prompts do the heavy lifting, so he can just tell it like it was.
Checkboxes, ratings, quick lists, and fill-in-the-blanks keep it moving. One-line answers count, no chapter has to come first, and most pages take about as long as a cup of coffee.
- Step 1: Give it to Dad, for Father’s Day, his birthday, retirement, or just because.
- Step 2: He fills it in at his own pace, in any order. The Together pages are made for the two of you to tackle side by side.
- Step 3: He hands it back, and you keep a one-of-a-kind story you’ll read for years.
His Story, in His Own Words
His stories are the ones that shaped yours: where your family comes from, how he learned to fix just about anything, why he still won’t pay someone to do a job he can do himself. Now you’ll have them in his own handwriting.
Every page is a window into who he is: his first job, the best boss and the worst, a call he’s proud he made. Page by page, it adds up to a keepsake you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
Give him a journal he’ll actually finish, and give yourself the story behind the dad you know.
Why This Journal Is the One He’ll Actually Finish
Most memory journals for dads are page after page of blank lines with a question at the top. He reads the first prompt, writes “Good,” and it ends up on a shelf.
Dad, This Story’s About You is different.
Every spread is designed: a sharp prompt, a fun way to answer, and just the right amount of space. Dad jokes, rankings, report cards, and throwbacks keep it moving across 500+ prompts in full color.
Give him a journal that feels like a gift, not homework, and finally check “get Dad’s stories down on paper” off your list.
