The Olive + Page "Before You Were Here" Book is a story designed to let the little ones know they were, and always have been ... a dream come true.

"Before You Were Here" is a heartfelt adventure of longing and anticipation. Lead your little one through a magical tale filled to the brim with celebrations, dancing, and singing as the world awaits a very special arrival.

The road to conceiving a child is often far from straightforward. It can involve many grey days and longing like no other. This story is inspired by the many people out there who have been on that journey and wanted nothing more than to have their very own family.

It provides a wonderful platform to pause, share and connect, and let little ones know they are a dream come true. With words that speak from the heart, and lovingly hand-drawn watercolour illustrations, it is guaranteed to make both the big and little people in your life feel all mushy inside.

"Before You Were Here" has been thoughtfully written and illustrated by two mamas who live in the sunny Nelson/Tasman region of New Zealand, and are hugely passionate about spreading love to the little ones.

Recommended for children 1-4 but loved by all ages.

Olive + Page is a boutique brand selling elegant journals and unique children’s picture books that have been lovingly designed and created in Nelson, New Zealand. Our pages bring together values of mindful living, conscious appreciation, sharing and connectedness, and capturing moments in time – to ultimately - enhance the moments and memories we have. 

BACKGROUND INSPIRATION

Olive + Page was born from a genuine desire to help others make moments count. It may be cliché, but life really does go by so fast. If we don’t stop to look around, connect with loved ones, and appreciate the current phase we’re in – before we know it, it’s gone. Whether it be through pausing to write in one of our journals, or connecting with little ones through our children’s picture books – both types of pages have one common mission: to promote presence, to increase connection, and to enhance moments of joy in everyday life.

SUSTAINABILITY
For Olive + Page, sustainability has been about consciously planning and looking ahead to ‘do what we can, where we can’ in order to make a positive contribution to the environment and surroundings in which we operate.   Right from the initial setup of Olive + Page, finding sustainable solutions has been an important value driver underpinning our business model. This has impacted on a range of business decisions, from product design, to how we chose our suppliers and packaging solutions.   Below you will find ways in which we ‘do our bit’ as a small business. We continue to evaluate our business processes and work with suppliers to ensure sustainability is front-of-mind.   FSC Certified Paper   All Olive + Page journals and books use FSC-certified paper.  

The ‘FSC’ is an international non-profit organisation, the Forest Stewardship Council, which was founded to promote the practice of sustainable forestry worldwide. The FSC defines a set of strict standards, and then independently certifies that those standards have been met. This certification ensures that forest products - like paper - have been sourced in an environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and economically viable manner. An FSC certification tracks the whole supply chain in order to ensure that the paper or timber came from responsible sources.

The FSC also ensures that trees that are harvested are replanted or allowed to regenerate naturally. Forests must be managed with due respect for the environment, the wildlife, and the people who live and work in them.

Eco-Friendly Packaging   Olive + Page uses corrugated cardboard book-mailers rather than plastic bag alternatives or plastic bubble wrap, ensuring items are protected during shipping, while minimising our environmental impact.   To package products, Olive + Page uses eco-friendly tissue paper and paper stickers which are FSC certified, printed with soy-based inks, and use acid-free paper. Our box tape is recycled, water-activated, and uses soy-based inks. We also use recycled cards which are compostable.   Giving Back   In addition to choosing more sustainable options for products and packaging, Olive + Page believes in the importance of giving back to the wider society. Sustainability is of course, not just about environmental impacts, but social and economic factors as well.

Ashley has gone out of her way to help me every time I've ordered, and honestly I'm starting to order more and more. It's hard to find truly eco baby products you can trust. It's so nice that Ashley has done the work for me. Postage is fast, communication is prompt and the website is lovely to use.
