A gentle, illustrated story that walks your child through what's coming next — a new sibling, the first day of school, a trip to the doctor. They're the main character, so it really feels like their story.
When something unfamiliar is coming up, a lot of the worry is simply not knowing what to expect. A social story walks a child through it ahead of time — what will happen, in what order, and how they'll get through it — in warm, simple language they can picture.
Instead of a generic printable with the same clip-art for every child, we generate the whole story and every illustration fresh, with your child drawn in as the main character. Seeing themselves handle the moment is what helps it click. You can make and preview your first one free, then read it together tonight.
Choose a situation and we'll start the story for you — change any detail before it's finished.
Get your child ready to be a big brother or sister — what changes, what stays the same, and all the ways they'll help.

The ones parents ask most.
A social story is a short, gentle story that walks a child through something new or unfamiliar before it happens — a first day, a check-up, a new baby at home. Seeing what to expect, step by step, helps a child feel calmer and more prepared. Ours go one step further: your child is the main character, drawn into every page, so it really feels like their story.
Most social stories you'll find are static printable templates — the same generic clip-art for every child. We generate the whole story and every illustration fresh, and we can match your child's actual likeness, so they see themselves navigating the situation. That sense of seeing themselves in the story is what makes it land for a lot of kids.
Yes — those are some of the most-made ones, along with potty training, moving to a new home, and saying goodbye to a pet. Pick the situation and we start the story for you; you can change any detail before it's finished.
It's a gentle, personalized prep tool any child can use, and many parents make them for exactly these moments. That said, we are not a clinical Social Stories program and we don't make therapeutic claims — for a diagnosed need, it's best used alongside the guidance of your child's care team.
