Frequently asked questions

Lundbo is a small family story studio in San Clemente, California. We make original children's series for ages 0 to 8, set in a place called Sandpiper Point. Lundbo is a studio of Lundquist Inc.

Sara Lundquist writes the stories. Blake Lundquist creates the characters and the art. The two of them review every page.

Ages 0 to 8, in five series. Otter & Moon is for babies and toddlers, Tully Tidepool for ages 2 to 4, The Quillers and Pop's Workshop for ages 4 to 7, and Stilts & Snip for ages 5 to 8. Each story page says who it is made for and why.

Yes. Read-alongs, videos, audio and printables are free, with no account and no email needed.

The first ten books are on their way, two for each series. Leave your email on the newsletter page and we will write once when they are ready.

Nothing. The story player has no accounts, no ads, no cookies and no third-party tools. It keeps only anonymous totals, like how many times a story was finished today. Favourites and where you left off are saved on your own device.

Sara writes our stories and Blake creates our characters. Like most studios today, we use digital tools, including AI, to help with things like colour, voices and translation, and every page is reviewed by us before it reaches you.

We are building the site and every story in 41 languages. Each language goes live only after it has been reviewed, so some pages are English for now.

Yes, for your family, your classroom or your library. Please do not sell them or put them behind a paywall.

Checkout is not open yet. Each book page will show its formats, and you can ask us to tell you when they are ready.

Yes. The request page lets you ask for a story about something your family is going through, or vote for a character you would like to see more of.

From real family moments that a small child is working through, like a new baby, a first day or the wait for the glue to dry. Sara writes the stories to be read aloud, and Blake creates the characters. The page on how we make our books tells the whole story.

Yes. Sandpiper Point is made up, but the facts about real animals and plants come from cited sources, listed on the Real Sandpiper Point pages. Where a story does something real animals do not, the back of the book says so. For example, in California real porcupines have lived in mountain and plateau country, not by the sea.

That is a decision for your family and your pediatrician. Our screen time guide sums up what the American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization say, and how we make our videos calm and easy to stop. We do not claim that watching a video teaches a child anything.

No. They are general information with sources listed at the end, and they do not diagnose anything. If you are worried about your child, talk to your pediatrician.

Yes. Everything we publish for free is free for personal and classroom use, including in libraries. It is not for resale. The teachers page has a storytime plan, and the printables licence has the plain terms.

They are coming. Signs on the English site are American Sign Language, and we add a sign only after we have checked it, so the sign glossary is not ready yet.

We check every language line by line before it goes live. The long guides take longer, so they are English for now and other languages link to them.
