A peek at a page

"On moving day, the big blue moving truck rumbled down the street toward the new house near the park. 'That's Rock Creek,' said Mom. 'We can walk there after we unpack.'"

Sample text, personalized to your child's event and DC neighborhood. Illustrations are created for each book — this is a written preview, not the final art.

How it works

  1. Tell us the moment (a move to DC, or a new sibling) and your DC neighborhood.
  2. We write and illustrate a hardcover picture book set in real local places.
  3. We print it and ship it to you.

What we collect

For this reserve list we ask only for your email, the event, and your DC neighborhood — no child's name, age, or photo. Everyday, gentle themes only (life moments, places, family, nature).
