The challenge

A story can raise as many questions as it answers: who are these people, where did this happen, and how does it connect to the rest? Storybook Bible brings that surrounding context into the reading experience, in a home designed for the whole family.

What we built

The app pairs illustrated stories at more than one reading level with maps, people, places and timelines. Quizzes and activities give readers more ways to engage, while the Curator encyclopedia provides a place to explore the ideas behind a story.

Lyra, our story engine, powers the illustrated stories. Storybook Bible brings that work together in a product where a reader can move from a narrative to the wider world around it.

People behind the pages

Human review is part of the publishing standard. A person decides what goes live, so the finished reading experience remains an editorial responsibility.
