Write. Read. Connect.

Imagine your kids, grandkids, and even great-grandkids embracing the rich variety of their family heritage, no matter their background or culture. Family stories—births, migrations, coming of age, marriages, and other life events—become the foundation your children build on. Sharing these stories strengthens relationships and gives your children a deep sense of belonging that lasts through generations.

When you write a story for your family, we make sure it’s crafted just for them. Your manuscript and photos will be transformed into a personalized children’s book that’s as unique as your family. Not a writer? No problem! We’ve got tips to help you get your thoughts onto paper. You can even team up with our writing bot—think of it as a friendly coach who drafts, gives feedback, and helps you polish your story. Or, if you’d rather, just send us your family history research, and we’ll ghostwrite the entire book for you. Easy, right?

And remember, these books aren’t just for kids—they’re for everyone. Don’t worry if your sentences aren’t perfect; your kids will be captivated because they want to know you! Including photographs is wonderful, but if you don’t have them, our talented illustrators will create beautiful drawings that bring warmth and life to your book. These illustrations aren’t just pretty pictures—they’re visual cues that help your children understand your ancestors, where they lived, and the events that shaped their lives.

Your family will love the deep connection, feel special knowing their history, and see you as a hero for bringing it all to life.

"I am thankful to Kinread for the opportunity to create a story I can share with my daughter about her grandparents' work and family values, which played a big part in shaping my childhood and work ethic. We love reading in our family and it's wonderful to see our story visually. I appreciate the time spent discussing and developing this project, and loved all the illustrations that brought it to life. Thanks so much Kinread for this special gift to my daughter and a way to honor her grandparents!"

"Thanks for all the work you put into this story! Your story captured my dad and his dad's story and I love it! I connected with Bob Santos' family, Diane Santos, she is thrilled the book honors her father. This morning the Stanislaus State University archivist said they would like to buy a copy of the story as it relates to Bob Santos and early history of the area."
