Why Living Stories

At Living Stories, we transform forgotten heroes into unforgettable experiences. Through immersive, second-person narratives, children don't just learn about history—they step into the shoes of remarkable Americans, experiencing their choices, challenges, and courage firsthand. We believe when children walk in the footsteps of leaders like Ella Baker, they discover not just what happened, but who they can become.

We’re just getting started — more remarkable Americans are on the way.
