Personalized adventure books where your child is the hero

Some kids want a bedtime story that settles them down. Others want a night that starts when the lights go out. These adventure books are for the second kind, and the hero has their face on every page.

The books

  1. Superhero (ages 3 and up): Cape, mission, and their real face on every page. “That’s me!”
  2. Into space (ages 3 and up): Rocket, helmet, zero gravity: a space mission with their name on it.
  3. I'm a Superhero (ages 6 and up): A star that fell in the backyard, a bath towel that fills with wind, and one night to learn that a real hero is someone who is scared and goes anyway.
  4. My Dog's Secret Life (ages 3 and up): At night, the family dog has a whole other life. Your child discovers it, shrunk down small as a kitten, riding on his back at a gallop.
  5. My Bug-Sized Adventure (ages 3 and up): A drop of dew, and your child shrinks! At bug height, they cross ferns, a river and the night to help the shyest firefly light her lantern again.
  6. My Day as a Firefighter (ages 3 to 6): A real day at the fire station: the big red truck, the siren, the hose, and Domino the Dalmatian. Your child becomes a firefighter for a day, finds a little golden bell, and rescues a kitten stuck at the top of a sycamore.
  7. My Beach Vacation (ages 3 and up): On the beach, the sea has gone away and won't come back. A pebble with a hole in it opens a secret door to a kingdom under the beach, where a great Tide is sleeping a little too long.
  8. My Castle and the Little Dragon (ages 3 and up): One morning, the castle bell stops ringing and the sun refuses to rise. Your child, pink cape on their shoulders, investigates with a little dragon who hiccups sparks. Everything is solved by listening, with no sword and no rescuer.
  9. Christmas Eve (ages 3 and up): On Christmas Eve, Santa needs help: your child becomes his teammate.
  10. My pet, my hero (ages 0 and up): The dog, the cat (or the goldfish) sets off on an adventure with your child.
  11. Their own story (ages 3 and up): Does your child already have an idea? Tell us the plot: we write the story with you.

Adventures with a point

Each story has a real plot. In I'm a Superhero a real hero is someone who is scared and goes anyway. In My Dog's Secret Life the family dog has a whole other life at night, and your child, shrunk down small, rides along on his back. Both are twelve illustrated pages.
