Questions parents ask

What kind of story suits Ink & Watercolour?
Stories where the place matters, such as woods, gardens or a walk to somewhere new. Each page is a full painted scene, so wide shots show plenty of setting around the characters. The warm browns and greens suit adventure and nature stories. It is offered for early readers and middle grade.
Can I change the illustration style later?
You pick a style each time you create a story, so stories in your library can look quite different from each other. A finished story keeps its style and can't be re-illustrated. To see another style, create a new story and choose it there.
How does the story get personalised?
You enter your child's name, age group and a few interests, then pick a mood, a length and an illustration style. The story is written around those choices. You can also add custom characters from a photo or a written description, so a sibling, friend or pet can join in.
