How it works
Their life, as a story your grandkids will love
No writing, no effort. Grandma or Grandpa just talks.
They share their stories
Biographer interviews your mom or dad in warm conversation: the childhood tales, the family legends, the little lessons only they can pass down.
We turn it into a children's book
Their stories become a beautifully illustrated, kid-friendly book, shaped with the help of an award-winning novelist.
Read it together, forever
Print it, gift it, read it at bedtime, so your kids get to know their grandparents through stories only they can tell.
Why it matters
The best way for your kids to know their grandparents.
Grandparents are full of stories your children would love, and would otherwise never hear. A children's book turns those stories into something small hands can hold, and ask for again and again.
We've turned stories into children's books, songs, and animated tales, and it's pure magic to watch a grandchild meet their grandparent through them.
Make their children's bookWhat you get
A keepsake, and a connection
A real illustrated book
Professionally written and illustrated from your parent's own stories, not a fill-in-the-blank template.
Their stories, kid-ready
The family history and hard-won wisdom, retold so your children can enjoy it now and grow into it later.
The whole story, saved too
Beyond the book, every story is kept in their own words and voice, yours to revisit and turn into more.
"Stories can be so much more than a chapter: children's books, songs, animations. Watching our storytellers see their lives reflected back is pure magic."
Jared, co-founder

Everything you're wondering
My parent isn't tech-savvy. Can they really use it?
Yes. This is exactly who we built it for. If they can talk on the phone or type a little, they can use Biographer. You can set everything up for them, and they simply answer questions in conversation.
Do we get an actual printed book?
Yes. Your parent's stories become a beautifully written, illustrated children's book you can print and hold. And the first 500 storytellers to reach 30 chapters get a hardcover free.
What if my parent thinks their stories aren't 'interesting enough'?
Everyone's are, especially to a grandchild. Biographer is built to draw out the small, funny, human moments that make the best children's stories.
Can we make more than one book, or other keepsakes?
Yes. The same stories can become more children's books, an audiobook in their voice, a full memoir, and more.
Is this private and secure?
Yes. Your stories are private and belong to you. We don't sell your data and there are no ads. You can export or delete everything at any time.
Do I get to keep everything?
Always. Every chapter and recording is yours to download, print, or turn into a book, even if you cancel. Your life stories belong to you.
Give your kids their grandparents, as a story they'll love.
Start capturing today, and turn a lifetime of stories into a book your family treasures.
