The Book

A colorful, love-filled adventure where big ideas — building, inventing, exploring, helping, and yes, a little bit about money too — all feel like play.

Imagine the Possibilities! My Grandchildren’s Edition

Four grandchildren — and Pebbles, their tiny Yorkie — step through glowing doors into the Simplifylivez Experience Hub, where every room holds a brand-new adventure: robots to build, a drone to fly, animals to help, gardens to grow — even on Mars! — museums and space to explore, kind choices to make, and friends to make them with. Money is just one stop along the way — a visit to the bank, a first try at the ATM, and learning to share what you have — tucked in among all the wonder, with one very special birthday surprise at the end.

Meet Crystal Ray

Crystal Ray is the author of Simplifylivez Experience — and, to four very lucky grandchildren, she’s Memaw. She wrote her storybook for them, with love, and she’s dreaming up real-world experiences so every child’s “I wonder” can become “I can!”

The sparkle is nothing new for Crystal Ray. When she was fourteen, she named her very first dog Sparkles — and she has been bringing the sparkle ever since. Even back in her working days, her files were kept in rainbow colors and her desk chair sat like a little throne, cushioned with a pink blanket and pillows — glitter pens always in hand. (The glitter pens did get her one firm rule she’ll never forget: no addressing envelopes to taxpayers with them!)

Crystal Ray has an inventor’s heart, too. She loves watching for brand-new possibilities — new ways for children to explore, create, and be included — and folding them into her vision. Her own book says it best: if you can imagine the possibilities… then it can become possible. And trotting right beside her through all of it is Pebbles, her real-life three-pound Yorkie — a character in the book, and your guide on this very page.

Ask anyone who knows her and they’ll tell you her secret:

“I bring the sparkle.”

A Pilot Program — Coming Soon!

The storybook is only the beginning! Crystal Ray is dreaming up the next chapter — the Simplifylivez Experience, a pilot program coming soon — where the adventure leaps right off the page and into the real world. Out there, kids will explore how all kinds of places really work: how bread rises and robots move, how animals are cared for and shows come to life, how gardens grow and ideas turn into things you can hold. Learning a little about money — saving some, spending thoughtfully, sharing kindly — is just one stop on a much bigger journey.

When the pilot program begins, Crystal Ray will take a small group of kids into real businesses and favorite places — with each one’s permission — behind the scenes, where the learning is hands-on: kids won’t just watch, they’ll do it themselves. Along the way they’ll build confidence and make friends — that’s when “I wonder…” becomes “I can!”

Pilot program — coming soon! Ages 10–16 Small groups of 5–7 explorers Behind-the-scenes & hands-on Built on Discover. Create. Grow.
