Being in an intercultural marriage or relationship is not easy, it is an experience of a lifetime. However, it comes with a lot of hardships as having a partner with different beliefs and cultural backgrounds could be a challenge, condemnation from the in-laws, racism from the dominion race, and a lot more. This study aims to expose the readers to the hardships faced by an intercultural family in a fun and enjoyable way; in the form of an e-flip storybook that also comes with a read-aloud feature. Along the process of making the book, a survey was conducted to get the readers’ opinions in order to come up with a storyline that suits their preference. As a result, an e-flip storybook was created with characters and storyline that were based on the results of the survey.
