My Life Story Book

What is a Life Story Book? A life story book is an account of your life in photos, words and documents. Some parts of your life may be very difficult for you to understand some parts of what you see or read in your book may make you feel sad, angry or confused. If you listen to other people’s lives and their stories, they may seem full of adventure and are exciting. Other stories can be happy where people’s dreams may come true. You may know bits about the life stories of your friends and family and hear about the exciting lives of famous people. BUT – the truth is : Most lives are a mixture of sad and happy, boring and exciting!
