Why tell your stories?

Many people think: "My life was not that special." But ask your children or grandchildren. They are the ones who want to know what it was like back then.

What only you can tell

• What the house you grew up in smelled like.
• How you met your partner.
• What you earned in your first job, and what you bought with it.
• Who your parents and grandparents were, and what they gave you.

You will not find that in any photo album. If it is not told, it is lost.

Your voice is kept

Next to every story in the book there is a small code. Anyone who scans it with a phone hears your own voice telling the story. Even in fifty years' time.

It does not have to be perfect

You tell it the way you always tell things. With a detour, a joke or a pause. That is what makes it real. We make sure the text in the book reads well.
