Say hello to ParentsPick, your trusted companion for confidently navigating children's books.
Simply search or scan a book's ISBN in a store, library or at home, and instantly get key details like title, author, and summary.
But we go deeper - every book is analyzed across 9 key themes:
- sexual identify content
- race
- gender roles
- modern feminism
- religion(s)
- profanity
- violence
- climate change
- scary (helpful for the younger or gentler audiences)
If a theme is present, we'll tell you with a confidence (high or medium), some context and our sources.
Wether you prefer Christian themes or prefer to avoid religious topics - your values matter.
Set your preferences and ParentsPick will give you a thumbs UP or thumbs DOWN on if a book contains themes you prefer or are avoiding.
Your scan history updates automatically with your preferences, so past books stay in sync.
It's like having a pocket guide that empowers you to find stories that spark joy and fit your values—no guessing or hoping needed.
ParentsPick simplifies book selection, putting parents in control.
