Our Family Says...

The Words Your Child Hears First Are the Ones That Stay Forever

There is a word your family 👪 uses at bedtime that exists nowhere else on earth. A nickname that makes your child's face light up. A greeting that sounds like safety. A phrase of comfort spoken in your language that no translation could ever quite capture.

Our Family Says... puts all of it on the page. Every greeting. Every pet name. Every bedtime word and everyday expression that fills your home with love, written exactly the way your family says them, in your language, with English warmly alongside.

This is the book your child will ask for every single night.

Built Around Your Real Words ✨

You know exactly how your family sounds. We build this book around that sound.

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 dialect. You can even share personal photos or family artwork to weave into the pages.

Here is what we gather from you:

• The greetings your family uses every single day, in your home language
• The words your child uses for the people they love (Lola, Baba, Dadi, Kokum, Teta, Oma, whatever is yours)
• Bedtime words, morning words, and words of comfort spoken in your language
• Nicknames, terms of endearment, and expressions only your family uses
• Your home language and any second language spoken at home
• Phrases of joy, phrases of reassurance, and the everyday words that make your house feel like home
• 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.

Our Family Says... is 20 to 40 pages of warm, cozy, repeatable 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 page. Your child hears "mahal kita" and learns "I love you." They hear "habibi" and learn "my darling." They hear "miigwech" and learn "thank you." They hear your language and their new language in the same loving sentence, and both become theirs.

This is how children carry a language in their heart. One repeated, beloved word at a time.

The Window Before School

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

School is coming. English is coming. The world outside your door will teach your child so much. Our Family Says... makes sure the words spoken in your home travel with your child into that world, living in their memory and their voice long after the busy years begin.

Created In Canada, For Families Who Carry Two Worlds

Proudly created in Canada, with deep respect for the languages, dialects, and everyday expressions 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. This book holds both truths at once, honouring the language of your home while celebrating the language of their future.

Whether your family speaks Filipino · عربي · ਪੰਜਾਬੀ · አማርኛ · 中文 · Українська · Español · हिन्दी · or any language you call home, your words belong in your child's book.

One Family. One Book. Yours Alone. 📗

Every Our Family Says... is individually crafted for your household and exists only for you. Professionally designed, beautifully printed as a hardcover keepsake, and delivered to your door ready for tonight's storytime.
