Fun Freetime: Put Me in the Story

Sourcebooks launched an app called Put Me In The Story™ for iPad. The app allows parents to create personalized books for children by adding a child's name and picture throughout books that kids and parents already know.  Put Me In The Story™ has recently been featured in The New York Times, Chicago Sun Times, and The San Francisco Chronicle. 

They're running a contest to help celebrate the launch. Anyone who pins their dedication photo from the app to Pinterest, with the hashtag #putmeinthestory, will be entered to win a personalized, autographed printed book collection. Contestants will also have their dedication page featured on the Put Me In The Story Pinterest board.

Put Me In The Story™ app is free, as is the first book – The Night Night Book by Marianne Richmond.  At launch, there will be two other books available as in-app purchases ($4.99) – If I Could Keep You Little by Marianne Richmond, and Dream Big, Little Pig by Olympic figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi, with more books to be released monthly. Features to come include sharing and printing the personalized books.
