Ryan Maconochie is a Chicago based graphic designer under the label StarRM that has previously been featured in Daily Candy and CS magazine for his maps and previous books. Upon having his first child, he created a baby journal entitled "This Is Your Book". This Is Your Book is a modern fill-in baby journal that gives parents an opportunity to record more than just the vital statistics about their baby’s birth. It also offers an opportunity to reflect on the pop culture that surrounds the big day. From basic info such as baby’s height, birth hospital, and hair color, to amusing recollections of all the baby names that were ruled out, This Is Your Book utilizes current events, maps, and of-the-moment factoids to tell the story of the child’s first year and will become a fun stimulus for conversation and education with children in the years to come.

This Is Your Book is published by Stewart, Tabori & Chang an imprint of Abrams and available now at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, The MoMA design store and many other bookstores and specialty boutiques across the nation.

Additionally Ryan has had some recent press from CS magazine, Daily Candy, Babble and Prudent Baby.
