A Storybook Made Just for Them
Best for: Parents, grandparents, and guardians who want to give the gift of wonder.
What if your child could open a book and find themselves inside it - their name, their personality, the little things that make them entirely them?
At Tell Our Story, we write and illustrate custom storybooks where your child is the hero of their own adventure. Not a generic character with their name swapped in, a story built around who they actually are.
Our founder wrote the first one for her own son, Wolfe. She wanted him to feel seen. That's still why we do this.
How it works:
1. You complete a short Story Mining form — telling us all about your little one.
2. We hop on a call to bring the details to life.
3. We write and illustrate your custom book, ready to treasure forever.

This is not a gift that gets forgotten.
Legacy Novels
Best for: People who want to turn a life well-lived into a page-turner.
You don't have to wait for the end of the journey to tell the story.
These aren't sombre histories or dusty memoirs; they are vivid, breathing celebrations of a life in progress. Through our narrative blueprint, we capture your voice, your adventures, and the wisdom you've earned, and bind them into something tangible. Something that lasts.
Because one day, your daughter's daughter will want to know the full truth of you. Not just dates and facts, but that thing you did when you were happiest, the battles you survived, and the person you chose to become.
This is how she finds out.
Available as:
— The Full Novel: Your complete life story, professionally ghostwritten and edited.
— The Memory Lab: Recorded and transcribed interview sessions that preserve your voice exactly as it is.
