Our Family Story 3 Book Set for New Canadians

Your Family's Words. Your Child's First Books.

Before your child starts school, before English becomes their everyday language, before the busy world rushes in, there is right now. A quiet window where the words spoken in your home are the words that shape everything.

The 👪 Our Family Story 3 Book Set is three warm, simple, beautifully illustrated hardcover picture books that fill that window with your family's real story. Your languages. Your celebrations. Your foods, your clothing, your greetings, your love, written on the page in the words your child already knows and the English words they are learning.

Read together at bedtime, on lazy mornings, and in all the in-between moments, these books become the stories your child asks for again and again.

You Share Your Story. We Create The Books.

This is a done-for-you service. You do not write anything. You do not design any pages.

You answer simple questions about your family. Our team writes your personalized stories, designs every page, and creates three professional hardcover books. You review everything before we print. Then your finished 3 Book Set arrives at your door.

You do not need writing skills. You do not need design experience. You just need to know your family's story. And you already do.

Three Books 📚, One Family Story

Our Family Is...
A warm, gentle picture book about who your family is. Real names, real relationships, and real cultural identity told simply and beautifully, in your language and in English, so your child grows up knowing exactly where they belong.

Our Family Does...
A joyful celebration of the traditions, holidays, foods, and rituals that make your family's year feel like home. The real names of your favourite dishes, your seasonal celebrations, the clothing worn on special days, written the way your family says them, with English alongside.

Our Family Says...
A cozy, repeatable collection of the greetings, pet names, bedtime words, and everyday expressions that fill your home with love. Your language. Your dialect. Your family's one-of-a-kind voice, on every page.

We Write The Books For You 👪

You know your family's story better than anyone. We build the books around it.

We give you a simple, warm questionnaire with categories and prompts. You fill in your family's real words, in your own language, your own spelling, your own way. You can even share personal photos or family artwork to weave into the pages.

Here is what we gather from you:

• Your child's name and the names of every family member who matters
• The words your child uses for the people they love (Lola, Baba, Dadi, Kokum, Teta, Oma, whatever is yours)
• Your home language and any second language spoken at home
• The foods, clothing, and objects with their real names in your language
• Your family's traditions, celebrations, and seasonal moments
• Nicknames, expressions, and terms of endearment from your everyday life
• Personal photos or family artwork you would love included (optional)

Every detail you share becomes part of the story. Every word you give us lands on the page exactly as your family says it.

Simple Enough for Toddlers. Rich Enough to Last a Lifetime. ✨

Each book is 20 to 40 pages of warm, simple storytelling designed for little ones under 5. Short sentences, rich illustrations, and real family words that children absorb naturally through repetition and read-alouds.

Home language words sit comfortably alongside English throughout every book. Your child hears "roti" and learns "flatbread." They hear "Lola" and learn "grandmother." They hear your language and their new language in the same loving sentence, and both become theirs.

This is how bilingual children build bridges. One bedtime story at a time.

The Window Before School

For families raising children in Canada who are under 5 and not yet in school, this 3 Book Set arrives at exactly the right moment.

School is coming. English is coming. The world outside your door will teach your child so much. These books make sure your language, your culture, and your family's identity travel with them into that world, rooted deeply in who they are before the rush begins.

Created In Canada, For Families Who Carry Two Worlds

The Our Family Story 3 Book Set is proudly created in Canada, with deep respect for the cultures, languages, and traditions that newcomer families carry with them when they build a life here.

Your child is growing up Canadian. They are also growing up as something beautifully richer than that. These books hold both truths at once, honouring where you come from while celebrating exactly where you are.

One Family. One Series. 3 Books. Your Story.

Each 3 Book Set is individually crafted for your household and exists only for you. Your stories are professionally designed, printed as a beautiful hardcover keepsake set, and delivered to your door ready for the first of many snuggly readings together.

Designed for little ones under 5, the books are simple, warm, and made to be read together again and again.

Can the books include our home language?
Absolutely, and that is exactly the point. You provide your family's real words, greetings, food names, family titles, and expressions in your home language, and we write them into the story alongside English. Whether your family speaks Filipino · عربي · ਪੰਜਾਬੀ · አማርኛ · 中文 · Українська or any other language at home, your words belong in your child's memory and heart and books.

How do we personalize our 3 Book Set?
After placing your order, you receive a warm, simple questionnaire with categories and prompts. You fill in your family's real details: names, relationships, traditions, foods, celebrations, home language words, and anything else that makes your family yours. You can even upload personal photos or family artwork to include in the illustrations. Your responses become the foundation of all three books.

Who is this 3 Book Set designed for?
The Our Family Story 3 Book Set was created with multicultural and newcomer families in mind, particularly those with children under 5 who are growing up in bilingual or multilingual homes. It is also deeply meaningful for Indigenous families who want to preserve traditional language, family terms, and cultural traditions for the next generation. If your family has a rich cultural story and you want your child to grow up with it, this set is made for you.

How long does it take to receive our 3 Book Set?
Once you complete your personalization questionnaire and approve your story preview, your books are professionally printed and delivered to your door. Allow 16 days from draft approval to delivery in Canada.

Can we buy individual books instead of the full set?
Yes! Each book is available individually (hardcover $75). The complete 3 Book Set is available as a hardcover set for $175 (regular $225), making the set the best way to experience the full family story across all three books.
