One Year Blogversary Event: My Own Story Review and Giveaway! (5 Winners) - CLOSED!

Do you have a major life event happening in your life, such as divorce, a hospital visit, or getting a new dog, and you need a good way to explain it to your child? At My Own Story, you can do just that! You can create a personalized story for your child to explain to him or her about this event. I made a couple of books for Sam and was able to print them as soon as I created them! He thought it was great, being the star of his own story!

More About My Own Story:

Real stories for real children

MyOwnStory is the premier provider of customized children's storybooks set within the context of your child's actual life experiences. MyOwnStory not only makes your child the star of his or her own story, but also serves as an important and useful tool for helping children and their families understand change and various life events.

We provide a supportive narrative which you and your child can work together to customize in a matter of minutes. Our stories were prepared under the careful guidance of educators, doctors, and child development specialists. Parents and caregivers are given the tools to build customized stories which help children better adapt to a wide range of events and topics. Our Collection of Stories covers subject matter that is significant to children and their families, such as a having a new baby in the family, the first day of school, going to the dentist, moving to a new city, and many more.
