About Us
Personalized Children’s Books by Real Authors and Individually-Made Customized Family Gifts

Our Core Philosophy and Why Our Books Matter
Our Philosophy: We believe children are more likely to become what they believe is possible. Before anyone achieves something extraordinary, they must first believe they can.
Our mission is to create magical adventures where your child becomes the hero—showing courage, kindness, creativity, perseverance, and leadership. By seeing themselves succeed in their own story, children build confidence and develop the positive self-belief that helps them thrive in everyday life.
We also strive to make reading feel joyful, exciting, and magical, helping nurture a lifelong love of books and learning.
Every book we create is one of a kind, just like your child. We promise to put exceptional care into making each story beautiful, meaningful, and unforgettable.
Ages 1–4: Perfect for bedtime reading and bonding. These stories introduce young children to the magic of books and the wonder hidden inside words.
Ages 5–6: An ideal bridge between being read to and early independent reading. Familiar, beloved stories help children naturally connect letters, words, and meaning.
Ages 7–8: Designed for a wide range of reading abilities, these adventures focus on timeless lessons about courage, perseverance, emotional growth, and shaping one’s own future.
Stories That Encourage Growth. No matter their age, children need encouragement. Stories about bravery, resilience, kindness, and overcoming challenges can inspire confidence and create memories that last a lifetime.

Customized Books That Educate & Empower.
At Keepsa Co., we believe in building up kids. We believe that if your child can develop confidence, courage, and a love of learning at a young age, then they can build any bright future they choose. Our mission is to provide tools to parents to help their children thrive, and to create amazing gift books your kids will keep forever and someday share with their own!
The Letter to Thomas Edison's Mother
The Letter.
When Thomas Edison was a young boy, he came home from school with a sealed letter from his teacher. He handed it to his mother, curious about what it said. She opened it, read silently for a moment, and then looked at him with tears in her eyes. “Your teacher says you are a genius,” she told him. “School is too small for your brilliant mind, and you must be taught at home.” From that day forward, she became his teacher, encouraging his curiosity and creativity.
The Truth.
Years later, after his mother had passed away and Edison had become one of the greatest inventors and businessmen in history, he found that same letter tucked away in an old family chest. When he opened it for the first time, it didn’t say he was a genius at all. In fact, the truth was quite the opposite.
His teacher wrote that Thomas was “mentally slow” and unfit for school. In that moment, Edison realized that his mother had changed the entire course of his life and world history because she not only loved her son, but because she believed in him. Before the world could put limits on Thomas and make predictions about his worth, she told him a different story–planting a seed that there was nothing out of his reach if he paired his creativity with a strong work ethic.
The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.
In so many ways, our lives are defined by what we believe is possible, and what we believe we are worthy of.
Superhero Custom Kids’ Books is certain that every single child has unique and extraordinary qualities, and the entire world grows a bit brighter when children explore and cultivate these qualities. We do not wish to see any child live with a false belief that happiness, friendship, success, joy, adventure, meaning, or love are beyond their reach or reserved for other people.
That is why we founded this company. We are both authors and parents, and we want our children to believe in themselves, in the American Dream, and a better future that they can do their part to build. When our children can not only hear stories about heroes and bravery, but see themselves as these extraordinary people who can face these challenges and achieve amazing things, we are certain these bright futures become more likely to actualize.
When children are told they are smart, brave, and capable, they begin to see themselves that way — and they act accordingly. At our company, we create personalized stories that speak directly to a child’s heart, reminding them that they are courageous explorers, problem-solvers, and dreamers who can conquer great adventures. Because sometimes, the right story is all it takes to change a life.

Matthew Castle
Author | Father | Teacher
I started reading as a kid. Life can be hard sometimes and this book provided me what I call the great escape. It gave me peace and it gave me wonder. It made me feel emotions I had never felt before and transported me to a world that I needed. This book was Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Fast forward to being a teen and losing touch with books. My teacher provided a spark in me in my Shakespeare class that brought me back to books for another reason: writing. I wanted to give others the gift given to me: The Great Escape. Emotions and a portal to another world. Writing saved me. Reading saved me. I am a single dad, a teacher in early child education and I am an indie author. I started out writing nonfiction shorts that became something bigger and led me to fiction. It led me to writing the stories I’ve always wanted to write. There’s nothing more exciting than getting a message from readers saying your book helped them or that they loved it. It drives me personally to keep writing everyday.
