OSV Challenge
First
Our mom reads the verses and gives us some background for context.
Next
We draw out how we understand them. Sometimes we make them funny or just easier to understand.
Then
Our dad will combine all of our best drawings.
Finally
They are sent over to our digital illustrator who makes the drawings come to life!

The idea began in 2019 while teaching Children's Liturgy at our local parish. Our concept officially began when we entered and won a local business pitch contest.
We won $1,000 and invested the money into developing our Proof of Concept and launching a KICKSTARTER.
Kickstarter is a way to raise funds for a new business by Pre Selling products. Thanks to the support from our backers we were able to reach 125% of our Goal! This allowed us to develop our first 4 books.
After a year of book sales we entered the OSV Challenge. After 9 months of submissions, mentorship, spiritual and business mentorship we were so blessed to be named the Winner of the Entrepreneur Track in 2022.
Stay tuned to see what's next in our journey to reach as many kids as possible!
