Meet your book guides

We're Aram & Alina — and we loooove reading 📚

We're two siblings from Los Angeles. Three years ago, our mom had an idea: what if we read our books out loud to younger kids, then gave the books away as gifts? We said yes — and we've never stopped.

We've hosted 10 free reading sessions at our local library. Our last session featured The Fly Who Flew to the Moon — and the publisher reached out to us afterward. Every book on this site is one we've actually read. No paid promotions. Just books we love.
