The approved direction
One approved look before the full book.
The words live in the page layout, not inside the artwork — so you can fix a sentence later without touching the illustration.
When it feels like theirs
Let your child see the first pages before you decide about the rest.
Your free preview starts with a story direction, a cover, and one inside page shaped around the moment you name. If it feels useful, you choose whether to complete the book afterward.
