Imagine giving your child the chance to star in his or her own story book. With Inspire me to...?, a new line of customizable children's books, it's possible.

Inspire me to...? was created with one goal in mind: to inspire children to create, discover, give, grow, and succeed. Now, story time will serve as a time for inspirational lessons of which your child is the star.
"Inspire me to...? aims to encourage kids and create learning opportunities and moments of bonding for parent and child through story time," said Marisa Horak Belotti, founder. "While there are all kinds of new media out there, books remain a constant."

The books give parents and their children the opportunity to customize the main character and even change scenes in the book. Inspire me to...? takes personalization to another level and creates a treasured keepsake for parents and children to enjoy for years to come.

Centered around the five pillars of inspiration - create, discover, give, grow, and succeed - the books aim to enable children to build self-esteem, have confidence, and have a greater sense of self-awareness. The messages are passed on through unique, personalized, and beautifully illustrated children's picture books in the hope of empowering future generations to deliver a better tomorrow, today.

The series of seven books delivers high-quality, customized children's books that are written, illustrated, and printed in the United States with eco-friendly materials.
