Maya's whole world fit in seventeen boxes. Seventeen! She counted them twice. The big truck huffed and puffed all the way to the house with the green door and the wobbly gate. "Will there be anywhere to play?" she whispered, holding Bear tight. Mom smiled. "There's a whole forest — Rock Creek — and it's ours to explore."
Sample text and illustration — an example of the style. Every book is written and drawn for your child's real moment and neighborhood.
The occasion (a move to DC, a new sibling) and your DC neighborhood.
We write and illustrate a hardcover set in real local places, and send you a proof to approve.
A full-color hardcover, printed and mailed to your door.
A full-color hardcover picture book, about 24 pages, made for ages 2–6.
Nothing prints until you've seen a proof and said yes.
A keepsake for a birthday, new home, or new baby. Reserving as a gift works too.
To reserve we only need your email, the moment, and your neighborhood — no child details. We use your email only to tell you when the book is available, and delete this list within 90 days after our launch period ends.
