Capture the stories that bring your child’s imagination to life

Hi, I’m Omar, founder of Kinnect. One of the things I love most about Kinnect is how it creates shared experiences for families. Imagine sitting with your kids to create a storybook—reflecting on favorite memories, embedding voice notes, and even including videos. Not only do you end up with a keepsake, but you also make new memories along the way.

With Kinnect, parents can guide their children to tell their own stories while adding photos and recordings, creating an interactive and collaborative experience. If you’ve ever wondered how to create a custom storybook, this guide will show you how.

Why a custom storybook matters


A personalized storybook isn’t just a keepsake; it’s a way to:

  • Celebrate individuality: Let your child see themselves as the star of the story.
  • Foster connection: Bond over shared memories and collaborative storytelling.
  • Encourage a love for reading: Stories that feature familiar people and moments make reading more engaging.

It’s a meaningful way to create lasting memories while giving your child a treasure they’ll cherish forever.
