A birthday gift they've never had before
By their next birthday most children already own more toys than they play with. A book where they are the hero is something different: it's not another plastic thing for the pile, it's the birthday they got to star in. Open the eBook at the party or hand over a hardcover with their name on the cover.
Pick the birthday child as the hero, add friends or siblings, choose the adventure, and we adapt the tone and length to their age, from toddlers to ten-year-olds. Preview and tweak the story, then read it together. It's a gift that's about them, not just for them.
