Values

Raise them on stories that say what you believe.

Kindness, faith, sharing, a slow breath when feelings get big: in your family’s own words, with your child as the hero.

Here’s how it goes

Nothing to figure out. One thing to do at a time.

1
Tell us who’s in it
Add a photo or a few words for each person, then tell us the lesson and where the story takes place.
2
Pick the look, then read the story
Choose the drawing style. We write the story, and you change anything you like before any page of your book is painted.
3
See it before you pay
We paint the cover and two pages so you can see your book first. Then the whole book is drawn.

No account needed. You only pay once you’ve seen a preview of your book.

A finished example

Told by Grandma, for Juno

Cover
A book for Juno
A story about making room for someone else.
Page 1
There’s room under here
The rain came down on the whole street, and Juno had the only red umbrella. She looked at Mr. Pell’s soggy hat. “There’s room under here,” she said.

Choose a value

Pick one and your book starts with it chosen. You add your family’s own words after.

Sharing is also a milestone for many families.

The tone

Values are personal, so the story stays in your hands.

Your family’s words, never a lecture
The story is built from what you tell us, in your voice, so it sounds like home.
The child is the hero, not the lesson
A child you know carries the adventure and lives the value instead of being told it.
You read and approve every page
Nothing is illustrated until you have read and approved the words.

What do you hope they’ll remember?
