What every morning is built on

Our mission is simple: extend the classroom into a connected, joyful experience that helps young readers grow in empathy, kindness, and character — one great story at a time.

🤝 

Empathy

Stepping into someone else's shoes, one story at a time.

💛 

Kindness

Words and actions that help others feel they belong.

🌍 

Inclusion

Every voice at the table, every child seen.

🌱 

Growth

Character that keeps blooming, page after page.

How a morning unfolds

Each three-hour session moves through five gentle rhythms — no worksheets, just a story brought fully to life.

Read

We settle in and read the book together.

Discuss

We talk about the characters and what they felt.

Craft

A themed craft brings the story to our hands.

Explore

We stretch the idea with play and questions.

Create

Each child makes something that's theirs to keep.

The two behind the studio

A teacher and an artist who both believe reading should feel like play.

🎨 

Kristin Green-Speich

Mom of two boys (plus two fur-babies), colorist, and lifelong artist across just about every medium. She's happiest building creative outlets for kids, and takes her inspiration from the people around her.

📚 

Katie Peterson Hernandez

A first-grade teacher at Baranoff Elementary with a Master's in Curriculum & Instruction and a PhD specializing in Language & Literacy Studies. Mom of three daughters, one husband, and three bulldogs — and a firm believer that a good book is where everything starts.
