The palette is muted and warm, with dusty teal, ochre, brick red and sage, plus one warmer accent. Lit windows, dusk skies and long shadows set the mood, and characters show their feelings through posture as much as their faces.

Questions parents ask
- Which stories suit Soft & Textured?
- Stories with feelings in them, like a worry, a goodbye or a quiet evening. Soft light, dusk colours and a patch of empty texture on each page leave room for mood, so it pairs well with the Calm & Dreamy and Friendship & Caring moods. 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.
