A peek inside

How the adventure unfolds

These are just sample lines. Your book is written fresh for your child - their name woven through every page, with the words, sentence length and tone tuned to their age, and shaped by the story, interests and details you choose.

A living room cleared of furniture, one child mid-spin with the rug rucked up underneath.

Chapter One

The First Twirl

As the music began, your child rose up on tiptoes and spun into a beautiful twirl.

A living room cleared of furniture, one child mid-spin with the rug rucked up underneath.

The doorway filling with people, and a dance that falters for exactly one beat.

Chapter Two

Leaps and Laughter

Your child leapt across the floor, light as a feather and grinning ear to ear.

The doorway filling with people, and a dance that falters for exactly one beat.

Lit from above on a real floor, arms out, entirely unbothered by the audience.

Chapter Three

Shine Bright

Under the warm lights, your child discovered just how wonderful it feels to shine.

Lit from above on a real floor, arms out, entirely unbothered by the audience.

These three sample the opening, middle and ending of a 12-chapter book. All twelve are drawn with your child in them when the book is made: the cover and chapter one free in your preview, the remaining eleven once you order.

Is this the one?

Who the Dancing Star is for

The Dancing Star is for a child who dances at home and stops the moment anyone comes in. The book takes that seriously: the first twirl happens alone, the middle chapter is other people arriving, and the last is dancing anyway. It is a good gift from someone outside the household, because it is not asking the child to perform.

Two to eight. Little ones simply want the spinning. From about six the story becomes one about being watched and carrying on regardless, which is a specific and useful thing to hand a self-conscious child. Reading level chosen at setup sets the vocabulary.

For Naama, who dances in the kitchen and does not care who is looking any more.

Every book opens on a dedication page. You write your own - this is one that suits this story.

Common questions

What age is The Dancing Star for?

The Dancing Star is written for ages 2-8. The story is generated at the reading level you pick during setup, so the same book works at the younger or older end of that range.

How is The Dancing Star personalized?

You upload one photo of your child. That photo becomes the illustrated hero - same face shape, hair and skin tone - and stays recognizable across all 12 chapters. Their name, age and a dedication are woven in too.

How long is the book, and what formats are there?

Twelve illustrated chapters, one full-page illustration per chapter. Digital is $14.90, softcover $38.90 and hardcover $42.90 plus shipping; the hardcover is a 8x8 inch matt-laminated keepsake.

Can I see it before I pay?

Yes. The cover and the whole first chapter - artwork included - are generated free. You only pay if you want the remaining eleven chapters.
