"All Stareworthy books are thoughtfully designed to enhance early childhood development and preserve treasured memories."
— Anna Stare, Founder
At Stareworthy, we believe in the power of storytelling to nurture childhood development, strengthen family bonds, and preserve the moments that matter most. Our books are designed to support early learning while transforming cherished family photos into meaningful keepsakes that celebrate love, connection, and belonging.
Our mission is simple: to create products that are inherently good—wholesome, enriching, and deeply personal. In a world where screens often compete for a child’s attention, we offer an alternative that fosters real-world engagement, emotional connection, and a sense of identity. Childhood is fleeting, but the memories we create together can last a lifetime.
Our books are written to suit the following developmental age ranges:
Guided by research in early childhood development, our stories are crafted to encourage cognitive growth and milestone achievement in a way that is both engaging and fun. In an age of endless scrolling and overstimulation, it’s easy for treasured moments to get lost in digital clutter. While smartphones make it easy to capture photos, studies suggest that excessive screen time can have negative effects on young, developing minds. That’s why we transform those special snapshots into something far more valuable—a tangible, interactive book that strengthens a child’s sense of self and fosters meaningful moments with their caregivers. At Stareworthy, we don’t just tell stories—we help families create lasting memories, nurture happy, confident children, and celebrate the magic of childhood in a way that screens never could.
Golisano Children’s Hospital (GCH) is the only pediatric hospital in the 17-county Finger Lakes region, where more than 85,000 children and their families receive care each year. During the past decade, US News & World Report has ranked the University of Rochester's GCH as one of the nation’s best children’s hospitals in six out of 10 categories: endocrinology/diabetes, gastroenterology, neonatology, nephrology, neurology/neurosurgery, and orthopedics. Their state-of-the-art PET-MRI machine is the nation’s first in a children’s hospital, and enables their young patients to undergo a single imaging procedure rather than two, with less radiation exposure. GCH is also the proud home to a Ronald McDonald “House Within the Hospital,” which allows parents to be close to their critically ill or injured child and gives families a place to relax, cook a meal, take a shower, or do a load of laundry.
