Memory Books, made from your family's love

When memories start to slip, a familiar face and a few simple words can bring them back, even for a moment. A Memory Book tells their life in their own words, one photo at a time, so they can hold it, and so everyone who cares for them knows who they are.

What's inside

Big, simple pages. One photo and one memory on every page, in large first-person words: "This is me with my sister Ruth at the lake."

An "About Me" page for caregivers: what they like to be called, what calms them, their routines and what to avoid.

"My People Today." The faces and names of children and grandchildren, so they can find them again.

A gentle question on every page, so a visit becomes a conversation.

Your voices. Scan a page with a phone and hear you tell the story, or sing the song.

The Family Edition, in her mailbox

Everyone in the family adds photos and news from their phones. Each month we turn it into a real large-print newspaper for Grandma, with a puzzle made from the family's own names.

No apps, no tablets, no passwords for her. On the 25th of each month we print it and mail it to her door, and email you a copy. If nobody adds news one month, we don't mail anything and you don't pay for it.
