This business grew from handmade books I’ve been making for my son since he was two years old to help support and prepare him through new experiences and changes in his world.

Like so many parents, I wanted him to feel prepared, confident, and secure when something new or unfamiliar was coming. So, with some computer paper and colored pencils spread across the kitchen table, I started creating little books just for him.

There was a book for my return to work. One for night weaning. One for my first overnight trip away from him. And even one for grieving the loss of our beloved family dog.

Each story was created for a real moment in our lives, and time after time, I saw how much they helped. They gave him a chance to understand what was happening, ask questions, process big feelings, and feel a little more prepared for what was ahead. And honestly, they brought comfort to me, too.

Over the years, these little books became one of my favorite tools in parenting. They didn't make every transition easy, but they helped us move through them together, with a little more confidence, a little less worry, and a lot of reassurance.

My hope is that since these stories have helped my son, maybe they can help other children and families, too.

And that's how Every Little Story was born.

Today, every book is still created with the same heart and intention as those first stories at our kitchen table, to help children feel seen, supported, and understood through life's little (and big) moments.

Thank you so much for being here.
