Pick tonight's adventure

Each story is written for an age band, so the hero looks and acts their age. A new adventure joins the library every month.

Questions parents ask

Good to know

What happens to my child's photo?

It is used only to draw your child's storybook character, which you see before you pay. When you choose the character, we delete the photo from our storage within 24 hours (within 7 days if you never choose one). We share it only with the companies that help us make your book, and never sell it. Read our privacy promise.

Do I need a new photo for every book?

No. We keep the character you choose, so your child can star in every new story. You can add a new photo any time, for example as your child grows, and pick which character each book uses.

Will it really look like my child?

That is the whole point. You choose the character before you pay and before any pages are made, and a person on our team checks every page before the book reaches you.

Can the story use he, she or they?

Yes. The stories are written so every sentence reads naturally with any of the three. Try it in the sneak peek.

Which story suits my child's age?

The Little Lost Star is written for ages 3–6. The Shy Pumpkin Patch Monster is for ages 6–8, and its hero is drawn at that age.
