Their childhood,
narrated by Dad.
Campfire asks you one question each week. Answer in three minutes — out loud or in writing. After a year, we print your words into a book your child can keep for life.
It asks.
You answer, your way.
One question arrives at the hour you chose. Speak it on the drive home or type it once the house is quiet — either way, it's kept exactly as you said it.
We spent Saturday at the zoo. She fell in love with the elephant and would not leave…
One question a week.
Nothing more to manage.
Ember · nowWhat made her laugh the hardest this week?
Small enough to answer in three minutes. Big enough to matter in eighteen years.
“I did the voice of the hungry caterpillar and she laughed so hard she got the hiccups. Then she made me do it eleven more times.”
“Eleven more times.”
One book a year, from the year they were four to the year they leave home.
Say it out loud.
On the commute, in the garden, after the school run. We transcribe every word — and keep your voice, so they can hear you say it.
Or write it down.
Late at night when the house is quiet. Type a line or a page, add a photo, come back to it tomorrow. Drafts wait for you.
Meet EmberEmber asks, listens and edits.
It never speaks for you.

“I think she recognised that.”
Asks
One question, at the hour you chose. Never a feed, never a streak to protect.
Digs deeper
When your answer holds more than it says, Ember asks the question behind it — the way a good friend would.
Draws out the lesson
Some weeks carry more than a story. Ember helps you find the wisdom you'd want them to have, in your own words.
Puts it together
Ember edits the book — choosing, arranging, giving each chapter its shape — and quotes you word for word.
A year of Sundays,
bound to keep.
Every answer becomes a chapter. When your year is complete, we print a linen hardback of your memories — something to hold onto now, and hand down later.
- Your words, verbatimEdited for shape, never rewritten.
- Photos alongside storiesAttach a picture to any week.
- A digital corpus, always yoursExport every memory, photo and recording at any time.

The ones worth answering first.
Before you hand over a year of your words. Anything else? Ask us.
Never. Your original words are kept verbatim. Ember asks follow-up questions and arranges chapters, but it never puts words in your mouth.
Nothing breaks and nobody nags. The question waits by the fire — answer it later, or skip it. There are no streaks to protect.
Your twelve months begin at commercial launch, planned for 1 December 2026 — not the day you preorder.
