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.
Chapter Two
So Much I Learned
Your child thought back on all the letters, numbers, and giggles of the year gone by.
The year laid out behind: paintings, a lost shoe, a friend, a hundred small things.
Chapter Three
Onward and Upward
With a proud toss of the cap, your child looked ahead to all the adventures still to come.
Walking out of the gate for the last time, bag over one shoulder, not looking back.
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 Little Graduate is for
Little Graduate marks the end of nursery or reception, and it is bought by the adult who is more moved by it than the child is. It looks backward rather than forward: what was learned, who was there, how much bigger everything got. It works as a keepsake more than as a bedtime story.
Two to six. This is one of the few where the narrow range is honest, because it is tied to an event that only happens once at that age. An older sibling will find it babyish, which is fine. Reading level set at setup.
For Noga, who started that year unable to hold a pencil and ended it writing her name.

What age is Little Graduate for?
Little Graduate 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 Little Graduate 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.
