The stories
Two books, both finished.
Every word of both was written by a person before you arrived, which is why we publish two books rather than thirty-nine. Your child is drawn into whichever one you pick.
A house demo book. Ana Sofía is a child we invented.

Written for ages 4 to 9, at two reading levels — you give us their birthday, and the prose is the one authored for their age rather than a shortened version of somebody else’s.

Look inside
This is what one page actually looks like.
One spread from the middle of Ana Sofía’s copy of Lantern Wood — the real words and the real illustration, drawn by the engine that feeds the reader and the printing press.
The forest stirs
Now the trick was easy. Another lantern bloomed warm and gold. Two lights held the dark back.
Then — a sound in the trees. Someone was frightened. A young deer stood shaking. Her fawn pressed close. Ana Sofía walked slowly in front, all the way home.

What personalised means here
Your child is drawn, not named.
Your child is drawn, not named. One photograph becomes a character sheet — an original illustration of your child in our house style — and every picture in the book is drawn from that sheet, so it is the same child on every page. We keep the photograph, privately, so the next book can be drawn from it too.
Every picture on this site is of a child we made up.
Nothing about a real child ever appears on this website, in an advertisement, or on social media. Every illustration you see here is from a house demo book about a made-up child.
You do not have to take our word for any of this. A complete finished book is open on this site right now — every spread, no watermark, no account, and no photograph of anyone.
It is a house demo book about a child we invented, because no real child’s book ever appears on a public page. It is otherwise the same reader, the same layout engine and the same illustrations a customer gets.

The first half of the book, free, before anything is charged — with your child in every picture, and the rest one keepsake away.
