A story written around your child's specific experience — their name, their family, their journey. Clinically informed, deeply personal, and made just for them.
We review every submission. Your topic helps us decide what to build first.
How it works
Every WithBetty book follows a four-stage clinical framework — and is personalized so your child sees themselves on every page.
Pick the experience that matches your child's situation. Each book is grounded in clinical expertise for that specific topic.
Your child's name, age, family, and identity shape every page. Representation that goes all the way down.
See how your child's details flow into the narrative — their name in every line, their family in every scene.
A fully personalized, clinically informed book — printed, bound, and made for the child it was written for. Only them.
Why WithBetty is different
Research on therapeutic narrative is clear: the more a child sees themselves in a story, the more deeply it lands. WithBetty personalization goes beyond a name — it reflects a child's full identity.
Every WithBetty book is co-developed with clinical specialists and community reviewers who know the specific experience a child is living — ensuring accuracy, warmth, and genuine cultural resonance.
What we're building
Every book is grounded in the With Me Framework™ and developed with clinical input. These are the topic areas we're building first — shaped by what families tell us they need most.
For children navigating illness, hospitalization, chronic conditions, or a new diagnosis — a story that says: you are more than what's happening to your body.
For children whose parent is facing illness — a story that gives language to fear, and reminds them that love is the one thing illness can never touch.
Grief doesn't end — it changes. A story that helps children understand that missing someone is how we keep loving them, forever.
A child learns that family comes in many shapes — and that love is the constant, no matter how things change.
A celebration of a child's unique way of seeing and being in the world — building genuine pride in who they are.
We're actively building our library based on what families need. Register your interest above — your topic helps us decide what to build next.
Developed with child psychologists and grief specialists, the With Me Framework moves a child from confusion toward integration — in language they can hold, in a story that reflects exactly who they are.
Something hard is happening. This stage gives the child honest, age-appropriate language for what is real — without minimizing or overwhelming.
I am not the only one. The child finds themselves in community — with others who have faced something similar, and a world that holds them.
I have agency. This stage builds coping — giving children concrete tools, language, and small acts of strength rooted in their own personality.
This experience is part of my story — not all of it. The child integrates their experience into a coherent sense of self, without being defined by it.
