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 morning window, curtains just opened, your child listing things on both hands.
Chapter One

A Grateful Morning

Your child woke up and decided to notice all the good things, one by one.

A morning window, curtains just opened, your child listing things on both hands.

Thanks being said out loud in the street, to a postman who did not expect it.
Chapter Two

Thank You, World

Your child thanked the sun for shining, the trees for their shade, and the birds for their song.

Thanks being said out loud in the street, to a postman who did not expect it.

The same child at the end of the day, visibly fuller, sitting on a doorstep.
Chapter Three

A Fuller Heart

By the end of the day, your child's heart felt warm and full and wonderfully thankful.

The same child at the end of the day, visibly fuller, sitting on a doorstep.

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 Thank-You Adventure is for

The Thank-You Adventure works as a habit rather than a lesson. Your child goes looking for things to be thankful for, finds ordinary ones, and the last chapter simply notices that the looking changed something. It is a frequent gift from grandparents and a frequent choice after a birthday that produced more sulking than joy.

Two to eight. Younger children treat it as a hunt. From about six the point lands: that noticing is a thing you do rather than a thing that happens to you. Sentence length follows the reading level chosen at setup.

For Maya-Lee, who says thank you to the bus driver every single time without being asked.
Every book opens on a dedication page. You write your own - this is one that suits this story.

Common questions

What age is The Thank-You Adventure for?

The Thank-You Adventure 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 Thank-You Adventure 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.
