Memetales for Parents

Memetales is, at the heart, a virtual world of togetherness and books for parents and children. It is a place where a child, along with parents, teachers, friends and family can come together, around the book, to celebrate the experience of reading the book and extending it into their lives. By sharing back their work, kids no only get a sense of achievement, but also inspire other kids to engage. It is not always easy to gather a bunch of children around a book with a common interest . A virtual community and online tools can be a powerful way of making this possible

Memetales helps parents find and read great picture books online with their kids. Specifically, at Memetales, a parent can

  • find great childrens books to read
  • discover related activities, crafts and media
  • discover a wonderful community of bloggers, parents and educators who are passionate about children's books and learning
  • share back fun experiences after reading the book
  • connect with the authors and illustrators easily
  • buy the book they love in whatever format that suits them (online ebook and print for previously printed books available now, we will be adding iphone and print support soon)*
  • find and buy craft/activity kits, handmade items and personalizable merchandise with your favorite picture book characters*

Here are some ways you can help your child engage. Children LOVE to see their creations online. Help them take pride in what they create and encourage them to create more -

  • Create a video with your child retelling the story and submit it. We will post it online along with the book!
  • Create a video of your child reading the book
  • Let your child do a book review and talk about why he/she likes the book
  • Let him/her talk about how the book applies to life
  • Start a discussion with other children. Pose a question/request to the author.
  • Illustrate the story. Or write a story to the pictures in the book. Make up a song!

    • The possibilities are limitless really. We hope that the children and the community will lead the way and show us what they want to create. As long as the content is safe for consumption, we are all for it!
