The Letters

A Letter is not a newsletter printed on paper. It's a letter, the kind you read twice, then keep in a drawer you never quite clean out.

a little mystery, monthly

What's inside a Letter?

Amaya has recently become a member of a secret service agency. That is when she finds out she comes from a family of secret service agents. These letters carry stories from her adventures and her relationships. She is sometimes fighting aliens, and sometimes befriending them. She is learning the importance of curiosity while learning to be a good person at the same time. She is small, but she is mighty, and she is here to share exactly that.

Her family, like every parent, is busy working and saving the world. One mission, one job, one service, one act of employment at a time. The letters give validation to the emotions that get lost in being busy, and to learning how to work with them.

Each month, a new letter from Amaya arrives in the mailbox, addressed directly to your child by name, inviting them into her world as a true confidante, someone she writes to, and who can write back, becoming part of the story simply by following along.

Inside, varying every month, will be:

  • a story about an ordinary moment
  • stickers
  • a reflection
  • a themed trinket
  • postcards
  • a bookmark
  • photographs
  • something unexpected

You won't know exactly what's coming. That's kind of the point.

Every Letter is created in small batches. Paper, envelope, stamps, ink and small details may vary, intentionally.

Made by hand, in small batches

Each month's edition revolves around an emotion, or just plain old curiosity and fun. They are put together by hand, which means no two envelopes are alike. The story evolves, the goodies differ, the connection grows, and the words settle differently.
