Lying in my sleeping bag, I listen to Dad Julien opening the strange box. The air is warm, the tent’s light soft. I feel good, ready for the secret tic-tic mission.

You approve each page. Only then do we print.

No surprises when your package arrives: you review the story, see every illustration, and request corrections as many times as needed.

You review the story

The full story is sent to you before any illustrations. A misspelled name, a passage to change? We rewrite it.

2

You see every illustration

All illustrated pages, one by one. A face that doesn’t match, an outfit that’s different? We regenerate the affected page.

We print once it’s perfect

Your approval triggers printing. The book goes to the printer exactly as you approved it.

At six, start with what makes them want to open a book

When choosing a book for a six-year-old, start with their interests rather than an assumed reading level. A child may enjoy listening to a long story while still learning to decode words. A personalised picture book brings together a familiar face, a chosen subject and time spent reading with an adult.

Prepare their name, a photo showing the child alone and a detail that matters to them: a favourite soft toy, a familiar place or an interest. Enter their age in the creator. For a first story, you can request a clear goal and few detours, rather than a large cast and many twists.

Here is one story idea you could suggest: the child and their soft toy look for a lost letter in a familiar garden. A footprint, an encounter and a recovered object create a sequence that is easy to retell. This is an example to personalise, not a story supplied identically to every child.

While reading, let them look at the picture first, spot their name or say what they think might happen next. If they prefer listening, an adult can read the whole text. The free preview shows the opening and the characters' appearance before you choose a plan; it does not assess reading ability.

The process

Four steps, with you in control of the last two

  1. 01

    You describe your characters

    First names, photos, family ties. Up to four characters per book.

  2. 02

    You choose the adventure

    A world, a theme, a narration style, and an illustration style.

  3. 03

    You review and correct

    The full story first, then each illustration one by one. As many corrections as needed.

  4. 04

    You receive your book

    The PDF as soon as you agree. The printed book if you chose a print option.

Your questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my six-year-old need to read independently?

No. You can read the book aloud or take turns if they wish. Their age helps shape the story, but does not guarantee that they can read every sentence without help.

Is this a learn-to-read programme?

No, it is a personalised illustrated story. You can use it for shared reading, without a phonics programme, a certified school reading level or a promise of progress.

What details should I give for a starting-school story?

Describe what the child will discover, the setting and the tone you want. For example: meeting a classmate and finding a familiar object, with a reassuring atmosphere rather than a schoolwork challenge.

Can I add a sibling or their favourite soft toy?

Yes, the creator allows up to 4 characters in total. Add a separate profile and photo for each character you want to include, then explain their role in the story.

Is it a picture book or a short novel?

The story has 13 illustrated double-page spreads. It is a picture book to explore and read together, not a novel divided into chapters or a reading textbook.
