A photo sent for the preview is never published. Its camera data is removed, and it is deleted after 24 hours.
Your questions
More answers in our FAQ.
Do I need to send a photo of my child?
No. To order, you choose the painted hero who looks most like your child: boy or girl, hair, skin tone. No photo is required.
Are the illustrations made by artificial intelligence?
Yes, in part, and we prefer to say so clearly. Our illustrations are created with the help of an image model (Google Gemini) from original characters, then every page is checked. An image that falls short is redone. The text is written in French, adapted into English for our books in English, then proofread.
Can I see the book before ordering?
Yes. The cover and the first eleven pages update with the first name you write and the hero you choose. A full summary of your choices appears before payment.
What age is it for?
Our stories are written for ages 5 to 8 (The Magic Forest: ages 5 to 7). Read them together at first, then let your child take over once they start reading.
When will I receive the book?
The printed book is made one at a time, then shipped. The shipping price for your country is shown before you pay. Its free PDF can be downloaded from your order page, and the link comes by email.
Is there an audio version of the book?
Yes, as an option with every book: the whole story read aloud with your child’s first name, in the language of your book (French or English), in MP3 format, to play on your order page or download. The narrator is a synthetic voice (ElevenLabs), the same for all our books. If the first name is pronounced differently from how it is spelled, you can tell us how to say it.
Can I see my child as the hero from a photo?
Yes, with a free preview: you send a clear photo, and we create an illustrated portrait in the book’s style. There is no sign-up, and free previews are limited (one at a time). The photo stays private and is deleted after 24 hours, or as soon as you ask. The full book is created after you order.
What if their name lit up the forest again?
A few minutes is all it takes, and you see the result before you order.
