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 hallway at night from a bedroom door, with the bathroom light a long way off.

Chapter One

The Last Bit

Daytime had been sorted for weeks. Night-time was the last bit, and night-time was darker.

A hallway at night from a bedroom door, with the bathroom light a long way off.

Halfway down it, in bare feet, having very obviously decided to keep going.

Chapter Two

Down the Hallway

When your child woke in the middle of the night, the hallway was long, but it was only a hallway.

Halfway down it, in bare feet, having very obviously decided to keep going.

Morning: the sheets flat and dry, being inspected by their owner with enormous satisfaction.

Chapter Three

Dry in the Morning

In the morning everything was dry, and your child announced it to the entire house before anyone was awake.

Morning: the sheets flat and dry, being inspected by their owner with enormous satisfaction.

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 Very Dry Night is for

The Very Dry Night handles the last part of potty training, which is the part nobody writes about. Daytime is sorted; night-time means one small walk down a dark hallway. The book makes that walk the achievement, which is accurate, and it does it without any fuss about accidents.

Two to six. It assumes daytime is already done, so it is the second book rather than the first. Around three or four is when the hallway becomes the obstacle. Reading level chosen at setup, and keep it short: this is a book read at bedtime to a child who is about to attempt the thing.

For Lia, who did the hallway on her own the first time and told nobody until breakfast.

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

Common questions

What age is The Very Dry Night for?

The Very Dry Night is written for ages 2-6. 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 Very Dry Night 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.
