I'm Maribel, mom of two and the founder of Peek-A-Photo.

When my first daughter Myla was a baby, she didn't want her grandparents to hold her. They lived far away, so visits were rare, sometimes three months apart, and video calls were not enough for her to feel comfortable.

I watched my parents reach out for her, and saw Myla pull back in tears. Something in me broke a little. These are the people who love her most in this world, and after so much time apart, she simply didn't recognize them as safe yet.

I couldn't fix the distance. But I thought, what if she saw their faces every single day? Not on a screen, but in a book, during our daily storytime - the part of the day she loves most.

That's how Peek-A-Photo started. At a kitchen table, after bedtime, with a notebook full of sketches and a lot of hope.

Every book we make carries that original hope with it. That your little one will lift a flap, see a face they love, and feel a little more connected to the people who are counting down the days until they can hold them again.

With love from our family to yours,

Maribel, Myla, & Melany

P.S. The best stories are the ones filled with the faces we love most! 💕
