How it works

Their life, as a story your grandkids will love

No writing, no effort. Grandma or Grandpa just talks.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

Generations of family together

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 book

What 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
