Making friends · ages 5–8
The Chalk-Circle Friends
Concept brief
An approved cover direction and a story outline. This book has not been illustrated or published yet.
Two quiet children discover that friendship can begin with a shared action before it needs conversation.
The story, beat by beat
- Watch
Ravi did not ask for a whole friendship. He rolled over one piece of yellow chalk.
- Draw nearby
- Offer one color
- Build together
The character, held steady
Aya has a green jacket; Ravi has round glasses and a cobalt hoodie.
Planned scope
One approved cover direction. The 8 inside pages are planned, not produced.
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
Read your child’s story plan before you decide about the pictures.
After Google sign-in, the whole story outline and the character are planned free around the moment you name. If it feels right, the cover and pages are quoted in credits before anything is drawn.
