Give your child more
than just a story

These stories are just the beginning. In the Dragon & Dinosaur Chronicles, kids step into a world of dragons, creatures, and adventure while parents guide and support them throughout the journey.

Each illustrated sci-fi and fantasy story is fast-paced, easy to read, and designed to spark imagination, build critical thinking, and create meaningful moments you can share together.

Through a simple, self-guided journey, young readers don’t just follow the story. They begin to think, explore, and create their own, and for those ready to go further, the Storymaking Hub and Creative Writing Lab help bring their ideas to life.

The skills to become a young creator, not just a consumer

Built Through Real Family Experience

Through this storymaking journey, my boys realized they could do things that mattered. They weren't just learning—they were creating something meaningful. And more than anything, it gave us real conversations where we talked with them, not at them.

A Growing Community of Young Readers

Over time, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with students beyond my own grandchildren.

These young readers have played an active role in shaping ideas for new novels, workbooks, and short stories.

I continue to engage with a small group of student advisors who share their thoughts and perspectives as the stories grow.

Why I Created These Stories

Rick Williams: Biotech Entrepreneur, Grandfather, Author, and Storymaking Guide

What started as a simple idea, creating stories with my grandchildren, became something much bigger.

As a CEO, I mentored the next generation of leaders.
Now, I pass on life lessons to preteens and teens through storymaking.

I don’t just guide story development… I walk alongside each young collaborator traveling on a personal Hero’s Journey.

Even our 1:1 “business meetings” at restaurants become part of the adventure.

Over time, I realized something important:
Storymaking has always been at the center of how I think, lead, and develop innovations.
