StoriesWithinReach.com was founded as the result of a young couple's frustration with the expensive and complex process they encountered while attempting to publish a simple storybook they had written for their daughter. They believed strongly that (1) reading with a child beginning at an early age is a beneficial learning experience and positive family activity, (2) there are thousands of great children's books that never get published, and (3) children's storybooks are becoming too expensive for many young families. This belief encouraged them to create this truly special online place.
