A coloring book that gets grandparents talking.
We create coloring pages that take grandparents back to their own childhood, and give grandchildren questions to spark a story. Print at home, sit down together, build memories and connect generations.

Let the questions spark stories
A small mug is hidden in every picture. Kids love the hunt for it.

Why we started our journey
Grandparents carry stories that too often get lost. When a child colors next to a grandparent, the child stays close and busy, and the grandparent has room to talk. A good question is often all it takes to begin.
The coloring is a tool. The point is the conversation, and the new memories a grandparent and grandchild make while they sit together.
Anyone can make a coloring page. Our work is in the questions on each page. We will read every response from families to learn which combinations of scene and question bring out the stories that connect the generations.
Our first book is set in 1950s small-town America, and we plan to add more stories over time. We are starting our learning journey with a free test edition, and we are looking for the first 100 families to try it.
