'This Time Last Year' / 'First Father's Day' Book from Twins

Personalised Book for Dads of Twins - A First Father’s Day Keepsake

A personalised book for dads of twins that captures the first year of fatherhood - a meaningful keepsake celebrating life with two from the very beginning.

Perfect as a personalised Father’s Day book, new dad twins gift or first year keepsake, this story reflects on the moment everything changed, twice over!

This Time Last Year (Twins Edition) is a beautifully illustrated personalised keepsake book that looks back on the days before life as a father of twins began. It starts before everything changed:

• When it was just Daddy and Mummy
• When your story was about to begin
• When no one yet knew how much life was about to shift

Written from the twins’ point of view, the story gently reflects on those early unknowns:

• Not yet seeing his face
• Not yet feeling his arms around them
• Not yet knowing the warmth of the sun or the sound of birdsong
• Not yet experiencing the quiet of nights or the buzz of busy days

And alongside this, it captures what Dad did not yet know:

• What it would feel like to become a father to two at once
• How every day would bring double the adventure
• What he might give up, and everything he would gain

It explores the pride in firsts, the wonder in what comes next, and the depth of loving not one, but two.

The story builds towards the moment everything changed - the beginning of fatherhood to twins. Each personalised book for dads is customised with:

• Both children’s names
• Important dates
• Meaningful personal details

This personalised book is ideal for:

• A first Father’s Day gift
• A new dad gift
• A baby keepsake for twins
• A meaningful gift from children

Why I created this book, from author and illustrator Lucy Tapper: I created This Time Last Year - Twins Edition because becoming a father to twins is unlike any other beginning. There is a before. And then there is an after that arrives twice over. I wanted to honour that shift. The moment when one life became three. The quiet realisation that everything had changed, in the best possible way. A way of marking that first year not just as a milestone, but as the start of a lifelong bond shared by three hearts. I chose to show the father as  a wise oak tree, with his little acorns, ready to grow and flourish.
