The Family Storybook:
Collecting and Sharing Our Legacy

Every family has stories worth saving.

In The Family Storybook: Collecting and Sharing Our Legacy, Wambui Bahati offers a tender, practical guide for preserving the memories, photographs, voices, and everyday treasures that carry a family’s legacy forward.

With honesty, warmth, and deep respect for both the joy and pain that can live inside family history, Bahati invites readers to begin simply: with one name, one photograph, one conversation, one story. Through personal reflections and gentle prompts, she shows how family memories can become gifts for children, grandchildren, relatives, and future generations who deserve to know where they come from.

This book is for anyone who has ever looked at an old photograph and wished they knew more. It is for those who want to record family stories before they disappear into boxes, silence, or time. It is for memory keepers, grandparents, parents, adult children, storytellers, genealogy lovers, and anyone ready to honor the people who came before them.

You do not need to be a historian to begin.

You only need to care enough to ask, remember, preserve, and pass it on.
