It started with a nickname. Then came the bedtime stories. Now, Walabookies: A First Adventure brings those heartwarming tales to families everywhere. For children ages 3-8.
"Walabookies" wasn't a business idea. It wasn't a brand strategy. It was a made-up word — the kind that happens when you're rolling around on the living room floor with kids who think you're the funniest person alive.
Benjamin started calling his kids, nieces, and nephews "the walabookies." Nobody remembers exactly when. One day it just stuck. They were the walabookies, and the walabookies had adventures.
The best stories don't come from a desk. They come from the floor — from pillow forts and tickle fights and "one more story, please."
Every Walabookies tale was born in the wild, wonderful chaos of real family playtime.
The stories started at bedtime. Benjamin would make up characters on the spot — silly, brave, curious creatures that the kids named and shaped together. Each night a new adventure. Each adventure a little bigger than the last.
The walabookies went on quests. They solved problems. They learned to be kind, to share, to keep going when things got hard. The kids didn't just listen to the stories — they lived them.
After enough nights of "Tell it again!" and "What happens next?", something clicked. These aren't just bedtime stories. These are real stories — the kind worth writing down.
In 2010, Benjamin published the first Walabookies book on Amazon. It was a leap of faith — turning family inside jokes into something other families could enjoy. No publisher. No agent. Just a dad who believed these stories deserved to be shared.
The book captured the spirit of those real play sessions: warmth, humor, imagination, and the kind of love that only shows up when you're fully present with the kids in your life.
Every story started as a real game, a real adventure, a real moment with real kids. You can feel it.
These stories exist because a family played together. That warmth is baked into every page.
Walabookies isn't a product. It's an invitation — to imagine, to play, to create your own adventures.
