Why organisations choose us

Stories that bring people into the picture.

Stories to encourage growth, preserve memories and help people learn and grow, made with the people you support.

  • Stories built around real routines, places and topics, not just a name
  • Every page reviewed by you before it is shared or printed
  • Digital PDFs and printed books, with free tracked UK delivery on print
  • Pricing for groups and quantities, quoted for your project
  • Inclusive characters, so every child can see themselves in a story
  • A UK team who will help you plan, create and share

For schools and nurseries

Make learning feel closer to home.

Create stories around familiar routines, new experiences and the topics your children are exploring.

  • Starting school and everyday routines

    Introduce arrival, coat pegs, snack time and asking for help. A familiar story can give children and families something concrete to talk through.

  • Friendship and feelings

    Explore taking turns, kindness and including others. Use the characters’ choices to start a group discussion.

  • Topics and achievements

    Turn a class topic or a child’s milestone into a story. Connect an activity with a resource children can revisit.

Example story
Our First Day TogetherA reception class story that walks through the first morning, from the gate to the coat pegs to story time on the carpet.
Suggested formats
A PDF for a reviewed classroom resource; printed copies for a reading corner or keepsake. Group display, sharing and copying must follow your agreed permissions.

For councils and Family Hubs

Give families something to create, explore and remember together.

Personalised stories can provide a shared activity and a starting point for conversations.

  • Parenting and family sessions

    Build a fictional story around play, routines or time together. The characters give participants a practical situation to discuss.

  • Social stories

    Create simple, reassuring stories that prepare a child for something new, step by step, in words that feel familiar.

  • Community and service introductions

    Explain what a visit or activity could involve. A simple story can help make an unfamiliar setting easier to picture.

Example story
A Visit to the Family HubA short social story about what a Family Hub is, the support and services on offer and what to expect, to share with families before their first visit.
Suggested formats
A PDF for a facilitated session; a printed book to celebrate a shared project, with permission from those involved.

For charities and community groups

Put people’s own stories at the heart of your work.

Stories can celebrate what a group has achieved together, give a voice to lived experience and leave participants with something to keep.

  • Celebrate a project

    Gather the moments, people and achievements of a programme into a book to share with participants, supporters and funders.

  • Share lived experience

    Turn experiences into gentle, fictionalised stories that help others understand, with everyone’s consent at every step.

  • Intergenerational activities

    Bring younger and older people together to record memories and family histories as illustrated stories.

Suggested formats
PDFs to share at events and online, and printed keepsakes for the people who took part.

For professionals

Personal resources for the people you support.

For therapists, social workers, health visitors, early years and SEND practitioners who want a story made around one child or family.

  • Social stories for transitions

    Moving home, a new sibling, starting a new setting or a hospital visit, told step by step with familiar names and places.

  • Feelings and coping

    Stories that model naming feelings, calming strategies and asking for help, written at the right level for the reader.

  • Life story work

    Help a child understand their own story with care, reviewed by you before anything is shared.

Suggested formats
A reviewed PDF for sessions and printed copies for the child or family to keep, shared only as you and they agree.

Working together

From first conversation to finished books

  1. Step 1: Tell us about your project

    Who the stories are for, what you’d like to explore, how many and when.

  2. Step 2: We plan it with you

    We suggest formats, quantities and pricing, and agree how the stories can be shared.

  3. Step 3: Create and review

    Create the stories yourself or with our help, and check every page before anything is final.

  4. Step 4: PDF, print or both

    Download reviewed PDFs, and we print and deliver books wherever you need them.

Example stories on this page are illustrative ideas, not customer case studies. Stories that include real children or families are only created and shared with the permission of the people involved.
