Text that reads, 'Where it All Began,' in blue letters on a black background.
Two young boys smiling and playing together outdoors on a sunny day, with one boy wearing a striped shirt and the other wearing a blue T-shirt with a dinosaur graphic.

The week my son turned four, we threw him a dino themed party. We had been stirring stories for a year or so.

We did it again and again, his turn, my turn. Add this, add that.

Years later he remembers the stories.

Not the party, not the presents - the stories.

That’s where Stir a Story began.

It is where this work still lives.
