How it works
You write nothing yourself. You get one question at a time and tell the answer, as if you were on the phone. We turn it into a book, in your own words.
You choose the questions
Browse our questions, from childhood to love, write your own or add an old photo. We send them at your own pace, by WhatsApp or email.

We write out your words and set them in a beautiful book. Each story has a code: your family scans it and hears your voice.
