I grew up hearing my mom reminisce about summers in the Himalayas.

You can do this with your family stories too.
1. Ask an elder for one scene they can still see.
2. Record the conversation on your phone.
3. Transcribe and circle the sensory details you notice.
4. Choose a form that best fits: lullaby, voice note with gentle music, picture book.
5. Read your draft aloud to a child and watch where they lean in.
Cut everything that doesn’t hold attention.
Then share with your family or the world.
👉🏽 There’s a little more to it
