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 bedroom of the wrong proportions, half unpacked, with a window in an odd place.
Chapter One

The Wrong Shape

The new room was the wrong shape and the window looked out at all the wrong things.

A bedroom of the wrong proportions, half unpacked, with a window in an odd place.

Sitting at that window in the evening, chin on the sill, looking at nothing in particular.
Chapter Two

Sitting There Anyway

Your child sat at it every evening and slowly learned the roofs, the tree, and one particular slow cloud.

Sitting at that window in the evening, chin on the sill, looking at nothing in particular.

The same view weeks later, unchanged, and now clearly the right one to be looking at.
Chapter Three

The Right Things

By the third week the view had become the right things, which is mostly what a window does if you let it.

The same view weeks later, unchanged, and now clearly the right one to be looking at.

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 Window With the New View is for

The Window With the New View picks up where the moving books end: the boxes are unpacked and the room is still wrong. Nothing is fixed by an adult. Your child simply sits at the window every evening until the view stops being strange, which is how it actually works.

Nought to eight, most useful from four. It asks a child to sit with something being wrong for a while, which younger children cannot really do and older ones recognise immediately. Reading level chosen at setup, and the quiet middle chapter is worth reading slowly rather than rushing through.

For Adi, who hated the new room for a month and now will not hear a word against it.

Common questions

What age is The Window With the New View for?

The Window With the New View is written for ages 0-8. 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 Window With the New View 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.
