“I started using The Legendary Connection’s storytelling ideas with my daughter, age 4, and she loves it!
The biggest benefit is that it makes us better at communicating with each other. She has opened up more, telling me about what she is thinking and what happens at pre-school.”

A Story That Started With Two Moms
The Legendary Connection was founded by Jen and Erin. We’re two long-time friends and moms who share a deep passion for connecting with our kids through the magic of storytelling.
Between us, we’re in midst of raising seven children. We’ve share countless stories, and created even more… from globe-trotting adventures at bedtime to retellings of ancestral legends. What started as a personal parenting tool quickly became something bigger: a way to nurture empathy, curiosity, and character in our kids through meaningful stories and shared imagination.
