Pip tries · Ponder listens

Small books for the big things inside.

Pip the rabbit tries. Ponder the bear listens. Together they make free digital stories that help children meet a feeling—with a grown-up nearby to find the words.

All ten digital stories are free.

Made for homes with more than one language.

My Little History · Coming soon

For multilingual families

More than one language in one little heart.

Some children hear Brazilian Portuguese at home, English with a parent, and other languages at school. That can feel confusing — and it can also be rich. Pip & Ponder never maps hard feelings to countries. We help kids name a feeling in the languages of their real life, with a grown-up close by.

  • Up to three languages together on one page — or one language at a time
  • Every feeling can have more than one name
  • Grown-up prompts for the adult who is holding them tonight
  • Confusion gets a chair: normal, nameable, not a flaw

We empower children who live between languages — so every part of home can belong.

Start gently

Two ways into the Pip & Ponder world.

My Little History

Not every important story is a milestone. Sometimes it is the blue cup they carried everywhere, Grandpa’s loud laugh, or the week they learned to be brave. We write that true little chapter and redraw it in the Pip & Ponder world.

The Worry with a Pocket-Sized Chair

A kite-party card goes skitter-skid, and a blue little worry loops by Mina’s knee. With Pip, Mama, and one pea-small plan, she makes room for both the flutter and the fun.

Meet the two who make room

Pip tries.
Ponder listens.

Pip is a quick-footed rabbit who likes one small next step. Ponder is a gentle bear who never rushes a feeling away. One brings courage; the other brings calm—and neither needs a child to be cheerful all the time.

Good questions

Before story time.

Are the digital stories really free?+

Yes. All ten Pip & Ponder feelings stories are free to read on this site, in fourteen languages, with family language modes and grown-up prompts.

We speak more than one language at home — how do we use this?+

Set up your family’s languages (optional). You can read two languages together on one page, or one language at a time. Hard feelings are never tied to a country — only given more names, so children who live between languages feel less alone.

Are the languages just translations?+

No. Each language is adapted to sound cute, warm and deep for young listeners—so Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese and Arabic feel like real children’s literature, not word-for-word swaps.

What makes the books “deep” for a 3-year-old?+

Depth does not mean long words. It means telling the emotional truth simply: feelings carry information, two things can be true, and asking a grown-up for help is a kind of strength.

How do personalized illustrations work?+

The $80 bespoke story includes original story writing, up to ten custom illustrations, a digital proof, one review round and one printed keepsake. Your photos guide faces, clothes and meaningful details.

Are my family photos kept private?+

The on-page preview stays on your device. Before production begins, you must confirm you have permission to use the photos and authorize their use solely as visual references for your book.
