Questions parents ask

What does Minimalist & Clean look like on the page?
A few big flat shapes, lots of empty space and one thing to look at. The characters can be small against a single large shape, such as a hill or a block of sky. With so little on the page, it suits calm stories and quiet bedtime reading for toddlers and early readers.
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.
