Children who have not developed some basic literacy skills by the time they enter school are 3 - 4 times more likely to drop out in later years. National Adult Literacy Survey, (1002) NCES, U.S. Department of Education. It is estimated that more than $2 billion is spent each year on students who repeat a grade because they have reading problems. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Imagine the surprise and excitement when your child opens up a book and discover that they are the STAR of the book with their name throughout the story and hand drawn illustrations of them on EACH and EVERY PAGE!!! For more information, please visit www.onceuponistar.com

Below are some reviews from parents:

In the words of my son Cameron, “I love this book. Can I read it again and again". Once Upon I Star have exceeded our expectations. It has sparked a flame for reading in all of my children. That flame is needed in this society, not only to achieve, but to excel. Kudos to the company...the illustrations are phenomenal. Keep producing great books. I appreciate the company's core values in promoting literacy in children. Mrs. S. Floyd


She did get her book and really loves it! She has anyone who sits still to read it to her! She is so in awe of how her picture got into that book! Thank you so much, it was well worth the wait. My mom taught first grade for over 20 years and she said it is one of the best books she's ever seen. Nancy Washell (Bolton, CT)


She loves it! She’s read it a dozens times already and is begging to take it to school. Great book! The Howards (Detroit, MI)


Dear Once Upon I Star,
Thank you for a great book! My daughter really loves seeing herself in a book! Everytime we read the book, she gets excited about seeing herself as the main character...this book was well worth more than the great price! I would encourage everyone who has a child to get this book. It was a great investment in my child’s future! A. Rosser (Detroit, MI)
