Questions for the storyteller in your family, answers for everyone
Pick the questions. Your parent or grandparent opens one link, sees one question at a time in large type, and writes as much as they like. Every answer lands on a family link, in chapters by life stage.
Childhood
Describe the house you grew up in, room by room if you can.
The front room had a green settee and a clock that was always 5 minutes fast. We were only allowed in when visitors came, so we sat on the stairs and listened instead.
How a book works
- Choose the questions. Pick from the house list, write your own, or let the house questions run. Set the question day, weekly or every other week.
- Give them their link. Send it by message or print the link card with its QR code. No account, no password, no email for them.
- Read the stories together. Each answer appears on the family link the moment they tap Done. Anyone with that link can ask a follow-up or suggest a question.
