The paleontologist of the back yard
Sarah has decided she's a paleontologist now. Not when she grows up — right now, at age six. She's been carrying a magnifying glass to the back yard every afternoon, examining rocks with a seriousness that would impress any grad student. “Mom, I think this one might have a fossil in it,” she announced Thursday, holding up what was clearly a piece of gravel from the driveway. When I suggested it might just be a rock…
“That's what they all said about the first dinosaur bones.”

Grandma opened it at the kitchen table, still in her coat. She read the first page out loud, then read it again for Sarah, who corrected two details before letting her finish.

How the book gets made

Conversations become chapters. Chapters become a book.

The subscription captures the raw material. Each month, ChildScribe shows you a chapter preview. Later, you can order a paid printed book for one child.

01
EVERY SUNDAY · 5–10 MINUTES
You talk to ChildScribe about your kid.
A warm voice asks the kind of questions a favorite aunt would. You answer however you want, in your own pace. After five to ten minutes, it stops.
02
EVERY WEEK · QUIETLY
A journal entry is written, warmly.
Quotes preserved verbatim, milestones noted, threads tracked over time. You can edit anything before it's saved.
03
MONTHLY · THEN WHEN YOU ORDER
Chapters preview the book before you buy it.
Each month, ChildScribe sends a chapter preview by email and keeps it in the web app. Printed books are paid add-ons, ordered one child at a time.

The paleontologist of the back yard

Sarah has decided she's a paleontologist now. Not when she grows up. Right now, at age six. She's been carrying a magnifying glass to the back yard every afternoon, examining rocks with a seriousness that would impress any grad student.

"That's what they all said about the first dinosaur bones."
SARAH, ON BEING TOLD A ROCK IS JUST A ROCK

The swimming lessons are still going. She went underwater three times this week, voluntarily, and came up sputtering and grinning each time.

She lost her second tooth on Tuesday. Unlike the first one, she was completely calm about it. "I'm basically a professional at this now," she said, examining the gap with her tongue. The tooth fairy received a handwritten note requesting "cash, not coins. Coins are too heavy for my piggy bank."
