Stories that move you,
set to music.
press play & fall in
A ubook sets a book to music. Every sentence arrives in time with a musical score, and when a page is full the next one begins, so you read an entire chapter without a single interruption. It’s our patented way of falling all the way into a book.
What is a ubook?
“It turns reading into an experience.”
Each chapter is its own video. The words appear sentence by sentence, carried along by the music. There is nothing to turn and nothing to stop for, so you stay inside the story from the first line to the last.
The music pulls you deeper into the story, and the flow keeps you there.
i. A sentence appears
The chapter opens on a clean page and its very first line.
ii. The next arrives with the music
Each new sentence lands in rhythm with the score, keeping your eyes moving forward.
iii. A fresh page begins
When a page is full, it clears and the story carries on, right to the end of the chapter.
a note on narration
Most of our ubooks are for you to read for yourself with the music alongside while some of our books are narrated.

Where the reading journey begins
Learning to read
Set Books Free, where readers begin.
Our patented reading program uses music to help new readers learn to read with ease and confidence, with handwriting and grammar programs, too.
Picture books & chapter books
Whimsical stories, set to music.
Picture-book ubooks tell the whole story in one sitting, and some are narrated. Lovely for bedtime or a slow afternoon.
Our story
Telling stories since 2010.
Music makes the story.
Imagine a movie without music–even worse, a movie that stops every few minutes, just long enough to be distracting. Reading should be treated the same way. As an experience.

Dear storyteller,
If you’ve written or illustrated a story that deserves full immersion, reach out. We’d love to see your work.
