Our story

Hi, I'm Julee.

Julee kneeling on the grass, smiling, as her toddler in a yellow áo dài with a red bow walks toward the camera

I created Adelynne (named after my toddler) because I LOVE writing my baby girl books about our Vietnamese culture, family values, and things I personally adore (like food — lots and lots of food).

Each time I shared a book I wrote for my daughter, I always had several moms ask me how I did it. I tried my best to guide them through the process but they usually found it more difficult than anticipated.

So I dreamed up this idea — what if there was a way for parents to easily write, illustrate and print a book from scratch for their kids?

Sure, there are plenty of websites where you can add your child's name to a book but there's something about creating a book with a message, story and lesson that is truly your own — something close to your heart — something fully unique, that makes it feel so special. That's why I created Adelynne.

Start the story tonight.

Write it or generate it, watch it come to life, and hold the finished book in your hands.
