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.

The naming: a wooden sword on one shoulder, a helmet several sizes too large.
Chapter One

A Knight is Named

With a shining helmet and a wooden sword, your child became the youngest knight the kingdom had ever seen.

Chapter Two

The Dragon on the Hill

Everyone feared the hilltop dragon, but your child climbed up and found it was only lonely and hoping for a friend.

Chapter Three

The Kindest Knight

By choosing kindness over battle, your child won the whole kingdom's heart - the truest victory of all.

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 Brave Little Knight is for

The Brave Little Knight is for a child who has decided that being brave means not being frightened. The book disagrees with them gently: the dragon is lonely rather than dangerous, and the victory in the last chapter is won by choosing not to fight. It is often bought for a child who has been in trouble for standing up to somebody.

Four to eight. A four-year-old gets a castle and a dragon. A seven-year-old gets the swap at the end, where the kingdom is won by kindness, and that is the version worth waiting for. Reading level set at setup controls how much of the older meaning survives into the sentences.

For Daniel, who is braver than he thinks and kinder than he lets on.

Common questions

What age is The Brave Little Knight for?

The Brave Little Knight is written for ages 4-8. 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 Brave Little Knight 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.
