People ask us
What is a social story, and why do they help?
A social story is a short, structured narrative that walks a child through a situation, what to expect, and how they can respond. They were developed for children with autism but are now widely used for any child working on emotional regulation, transitions, new experiences, or hard moments. The research is solid — when kids see themselves succeed in a story, they build the script for doing it in real life.
Who writes the book?
Dr. Babby writes every book personally. She is a licensed child psychologist in Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado, and a board-certified behavior analyst. She holds a doctorate in Child, Family, and School Psychology from the University of Denver. No ghostwriters, no AI — just Dr. Babby.
How is this different from other personalized children's books?
Most personalized children's books swap in a name and a hair color. A Dr. Babby's Book is built around your child's actual situation — the morning routine that's falling apart, the new baby on the way, the grandparent who passed, the classroom transition that's hard. It's written by a child psychologist at your child's reading level. There isn't really a comparable product on the market.
What age range is this for?
The sweet spot is roughly ages three through eight, but Dr. Babby adjusts vocabulary, sentence length, and concept complexity to your specific child. If you're unsure where your child lands, just tell us on the questionnaire — Dr. Babby will calibrate.
Do I need photos of my child?
No. Photos are optional and many families don't send any — the illustrations work beautifully on their own. If you do send photos, Dr. Babby and Anna can incorporate them into the artwork to make the book feel even more personal.
