Beyond Age Ratings
A Community-Driven Approach to Book Screening
A customized system where families share and benefit from real insights on children’s books.
A one-size-fits-all age rating system can’t capture the unique values and maturity levels of every family. Each child is on their own path, and while one child may be ready for certain topics, another might find them unsettling or inappropriate. Sensitive themes like death, violence, foul language, and scary content can vary widely in impact, depending on a family’s beliefs and personal standards.

Here, the community comes together to bridge that gap by sharing insights and snapshots of book content. Parents can post snapshots they feel might be questionable, and others in the community benefit from these shared perspectives, providing a layer of transparency that age ratings simply can’t offer. This crowdsourced approach gives you firsthand insights, empowering you to make informed decisions about which books align with your child’s development.
Shared Responsibility for Age-Appropriate Choices
When families actively share and view flagged content, they create a valuable resource that evolves with their needs. You’re not simply handed a label; instead, you’re part of a community that values thoughtful, intentional reading choices. By previewing content together, we can offer children the right book at the right time, building a healthy foundation for their minds and values.
