How we help Why we do it ‘My little girl was starting to forget me...’ Owen wanted to read a story for his daughter’s 8th birthday but couldn't read. Play the audio below to see how we used a bit of Storybook Dads’ magic and helped him to read The Ugly Duckling. When Owen listened to the edited story before he sent it out, he cried because he’d been able to do something he never thought he could. These stories help parents who feel worthless to feel pride and children who feel abandoned to feel loved. “My daughter was so happy she got to hear her Dad's voice. She listens to it over and over again. She says it makes her feel closer to him. It’s the most beautiful thing ever created and it truly helped” Watch our Ted Talk Manage Cookie Preferences
