About Us - Our Story

According to new data recently released by the National Assessment of Educational Progress, reading and language arts test scores among children are the lowest they've been in decades across the board. And though the pandemic did contribute to a sharp decline in more recent years, this downward trend had already been happening pre-COVID, leaving younger generations struggling to catch up.

Concerned with the reality of this crisis, Dads Brendon and Michael knew they had to do something to flip the script, to turn the page, and to open up a new chapter. And just like that, eureka! This daddy duo dreamt up the brilliant idea to create personalized children’s books that allow little readers to not just tag along with characters but rather lead the charge and be personally part of the narrative.

But it wasn’t until Brendon and Michael witnessed the wide-eyed wonder on their own kids’ faces that they knew they had discovered something truly special. Using their fingers to trace letters that spelled out their names and point out their likeness, their children were thrilled to feel included in the stories they were reading.

You see … StoryBug books aren’t only for teaching early learners how to read, spell and string together sentences. They’re about spreading joy, empowering the imagination and immersing children in make-believe realms where they themselves are the heroes, turning every "once upon a time" into a personal journey of discovery.
