About us
Lunchbox Stories, Inc. was created in 2007 in Portland, Oregon. Through our patent pending Chapter-Card™ design, we have developed a format that is inviting to readers of all ages and offers a variety of reading opportunities to kids.
Vision: That all children discover a love for reading
Everyone loves to listen to an exciting story but not everyone loves to read. We hope to introduce new and innovative ways to create the excitement for children to read on their own.
Mission: To encourage kids to read!
With adventures that have a "twist" at every "turn" we hope kids will see that Lunchbox Stories™ are more than just another book. Through our Imagination Hour and a variety of ways parents and teachers can use the unique Chapter-Card™ design, we are confident that more and more kids will find out how fun reading can be.
