Your Story,
as an Illustrated Children’s Book
Share your story. Share yourself.
Contribute to the collective wisdom of the world.
As human beings, the stories we tell ourselves and others about our lives are so much more than just stories. These narratives allow us to create meaning from our experiences. It’s how we develop a coherent sense of unique identity — who we are and why — and hone our sense of purpose.
Beyond personal meaning making, storytelling helps us to better understand one another. People may know us from our shared interactions and social conversations. But can they really know us until they understand the set of personal experiences, social interactions, cultural framework, environmental factors, and intrinsic nature that made us who we are?
Every single one of us has something to teach, and every single one of us can learn something of value from each and every person we encounter. Unfortunately, this kind of personal storytelling is increasingly getting lost in the modern world. No longer do children sit by fires listening to the tales and reflective insights of their elders. We’re so preoccupied with the daily business of living that we’re forgetting the most important thing we can share with the world — ourselves.
In a world that needs more wisdom, and not enough is being passed down, StoryTime Me offers a fun, easy way to teach and be taught.
StoryTime Me is perfect for:
-
Births and milestone birthdays;
-
Engagements, weddings, and anniversaries;
-
Retirements;
-
Memorials; and
-
Any other major life event.
