Meet Wallace, my grandpa.
Wallace Stories began with my grandpa and a retirement book I found after he passed. We turn the people you love into the characters in their story.
Every family has stories worth telling, and every child deserves stories that feel like theirs.

What representation looks like to us
Most personalized books swap in a name and call it done. We wanted something different: a book where a child who uses a wheelchair sees a character who uses one too, and a child with hearing aids sees a character wearing them.
<<<<<<< Updated upstreamThe disability is never the problem to be solved. It's there in the illustrations the way it's there in their day, not pointed at, not explained away, just part of the picture, and it's just as true for the disabilities you can't see. Every Wallace Story is written and illustrated from scratch using the details you share, so every child can see themselves in the story.
