CONNECTING.    photo stickers connect families 

By using custom photo stickers to tell family stories, you create a storybook that connects an adult with a young child in a truly amazing interactive experience!  As each book page is read by an adult reader (mom, dad, or grandparent), the grandchild “sticks” photo stickers to complete the stories.

Each page allows the reader to embellish on fun activities the child has experienced. These photo sticker books allow kids to make a book about themselves and their grandparent, and capture experiences they had together!

REMEMBERING.   long-distance grandparents

When families are separated by long distances, having a book that provides a connection with young grandchildren is especially helpful. Photo sticker books help grandkids always remember grandparents, even when they’re not together! And, each book can be pulled out and re-read to kindle memories of past fun times spent together.

FACIAL RECOGNITION.    best way for kids to remember people

 Young kids will remember faces much more easily than seeing their name printed in a book. Children quickly identify with people’s faces and remember those faces because they put the photo stickers on each page themselves.  It’s an amazing interactive experience to read this book together using photo stickers to re-tell fun adventures! Just the act of reading together makes this an extremely personalized and interactive connecting experience.

READING.   toddlers & preschool children learn reading is fun

Reading books together helps children develop early reading and communication skills. Preschoolers and toddlers get to experience storytelling from a family perspective while learning to read. “Sticking” photo stickers lets them participate in creating their own stories! 

Kids discover that talking,  giggling, and interacting with others is great fun, especially when they “stick” photo stickers of their face and their grandparent’s face on each page. Children become highly engaged and remember these special “reading moments” for a long time.

IMAGINING.   kids improve their imaginations

Kids already have great imagination skills! When they relate to stories about activities they’ve experienced with their grandparents, they become part of the story they create. It’s a great way to make their imagination come alive!  

We tell people…our books are not just about reading a story to a child!   Rather, each book is an incredible memory-making experience waiting to happen! 

REDUCING GADGET ADDICTION.   non-electronic, no batteries

In today’s world there are few opportunities to connect with young kids with the constant barrage of electronic media. STICKING WITH FAMILY ^®  books take adults and kids back to a time when doing things together involved creative conversation, laughter, and playful interaction!  Sticking photo stickers in a family story book creates a fun experience not available on an electronic device. Because these are real books, they create memories that can be kept forever! There also are no on/off switches, no screens, no batteries, no headphones, and no buttons involved. Just good old-fashioned reading and sticker “sticking”.

IMPORTANCE.   why reading to young children is so important

This official U.S. Government site contains an article entitled “Becoming a Reader — Helping Your Child Become a Reader” which explains why it’s important to develop early reading skills with preschoolers and toddlers.

The Children’s Reading Foundation has information that the impact of not learning to read has on young children and their future growth. 

Reading Rockets is a powerful site devoted to the promotion of early reading habits for preschool children. They offer many articles about why it’s important to expose preschoolers and toddlers to early reading skills and habits.

Words From An Expert

“There is no argument that reading with children is one of the most important activities you can do for your child’s future. What is less known is the value of the interaction and affection that happen between adult and child during the reading of a book. A FUN DAY WITH GRANDPA and A FUN DAY WITH GRANDMA combine two very important ingredients in the recipe for a young reader, love and literacy.”
