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 wooden spoon on an upturned pan, and the first beat visibly going somewhere.

Chapter One

A Tap and a Beat

Your child tapped a little rhythm, and the teacups began to jingle along.

A wooden spoon on an upturned pan, and the first beat visibly going somewhere.

A street where everything is swaying, washing lines, lamp posts, a very pleased toddler.

Chapter Two

The Whole World Sways

Soon the trees, the birds, and even the clouds were swaying to your child's happy tune.

A street where everything is swaying, washing lines, lamp posts, a very pleased toddler.

The whole crowd joining in, your child at the front and no longer the only one playing.

Chapter Three

Everyone's Song

Your child learned that music sounds sweetest when the whole world joins in.

The whole crowd joining in, your child at the front and no longer the only one playing.

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 Little Music Maker is for

The Little Music Maker is one of the few stories that works before a child talks. It is built on rhythm rather than plot: a tap, a beat, a world that starts moving. Good for the toddler who bangs on everything, and good as a first book about trying a thing in front of other people.

Nought to six, and it is genuinely usable at one. The repetition is the point, and it survives being read four times in a row. By five the last chapter, where everybody joins in, gives a shy child a way to picture that. Reading level set at setup.

For Gili, who found the beat a long time before she found any of the words.

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

Common questions

What age is The Little Music Maker for?

The Little Music Maker is written for ages 0-6. 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 Little Music Maker 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.
