V. and the Very Loud Vacuum
Fears & courageFor a child who is scared of the vacuum: the machine becomes a shy monster who only wants help picking up crumbs.
The stories behind the books
Examples we wrote and generated ourselves, to show the kinds of moments a book can hold. Community publishing is not open yet, so nothing here comes from another family. Use any of them as a starting point for your own.
Examples made by us — not shared by other families
Our House Is Coming With Us
Big changesFor a family move: the bed, the lamp, and the favorite red chair pack their own little suitcases and ride along.
M. and the Tiny New Roommate
New siblingBefore a new sibling arrives: the older child teaches the coffee machine, the dog bowl, and the stroller how to welcome a baby.
Grandma Lives in the Phone (and in Our Kitchen)
Family bondsFor a grandparent far away: a family recipe travels out of the phone and into the child’s own kitchen.
The Broccoli Who Wanted a Friend
MealtimeFor a nightly dinner standoff: the child’s own plate becomes a stage where a lonely broccoli asks for one dance.
The Snip Heard Round the House
First experiencesBefore a first haircut: everything in the house goes first — the mop gets a trim, the broom gets bangs.
