Our Fighter Series is dedicated to children fighting life-altering conditions. We highlight the courage and determination of these inspiring children. My Story Matters storybooks provide the perfect bridge between life at home and time in the hospital.

Our Angel Series is dedicated to children who left this life much too soon. No footprint is too small to leave an impact. My Story Matters storybooks honor the journeys of these precious children, while providing comfort and perspective for families who have lost a child.

Our Champion Series is dedicated to building a community where people tell individual stories---from seemingly different cultures, languages, religions, ethnicities, socioeconomic conditions and life experiences--only to discover and empathize with the universal humanity in each of us. We are looking for community organizations that want to partner with us to provide the power of story in their area.

More About Us
Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds work together to create custom storybooks for a wide range of children. Each of these storybooks feature the child’s own photos and offers a positive, personalized message for the child. These storybooks help improve self esteem, build confidence, inspire imagination, and give a child in transition the power to dream of a hopeful future. We are so grateful for the help of local photographers, interns, Board Members and numerous community volunteers that make each of these books possible.
