Our Story
Made by parents. Inspired by kids. Created to make stories more personal.
ForeverBook was founded in Hood River, Oregon by Matthew Schubert and Nadine Polanski, two parents who believe some of the best stories are the ones children can see themselves in.
Between our two families, we're raising four kids ranging from toddlers to elementary school age. We know how quickly childhood moves, how different every child is, and how meaningful it can be when something is created especially for them.
ForeverBook started with a simple idea: What if we could turn the people, interests, personalities, and moments that make a child unique into stories they could actually be part of?
Children's learning and literacy are also close to home for us. Through our families, our children, and years spent around young learners, we've seen how differently kids engage with reading and how powerful it can be when a story truly captures their imagination.
Today, we're combining thoughtful storytelling, illustration, and creative technology to help parents, grandparents, relatives, and friends create meaningful stories around the children they love.
We're a small team, and we like it that way. Every part of ForeverBook is being thoughtfully shaped, tested, and improved with real families.
Our goal is simple: create stories kids are excited to read today and keepsakes families will treasure for years to come.

How ForeverBook Books Are Made
ForeverBook combines advanced creative technology with thoughtfully designed storytelling frameworks to create personalized children's books that are unique to each child.
Our focus is on meaningful storytelling, age-appropriate content, and creating a magical experience that makes each child feel like part of the story.
Every page can be reviewed and edited before ordering, and each book receives a final review from our Story Care Team before it is sent to print.
Your ForeverBook is then professionally printed and bound by one of the industry's most trusted book production partners, using high-quality materials and printing standards to create a beautiful keepsake your family can treasure for years to come.
Safe & Age-Appropriate
Every story and illustration goes through content moderation to ensure it's 100% child-friendly. We never share your child's data with third parties. Your family's privacy and safety are our top priority.
