In this episode we sit down with Uzra Vo, the creator of Ava’s Big Adventures. A children’s book series inspired by real-life moments with her daughter.

What started as a simple challenge during bedtime turned into a completely unique way to read with kids. Instead of traditional page-by-page storytelling, she designed the books so the full story is visible helping with word recognition, engagement, and making reading feel more interactive for children.

We talk about how the idea came to life, the problem it solves for parents, teachers and why sometimes the best ideas come from real everyday experiences.
