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 rope swing over water with two children on the bank, one clearly daring the other.
Chapter One

The Dare

It started, as these things do, with a dare that neither of them wanted to be the first to refuse.

A rope swing over water with two children on the bank, one clearly daring the other.

The long way round through the trees, taken together, neither of them talking.
Chapter Two

The Long Way Round

They took the long way, arguing about the short way, which is really the whole point of a summer.

The long way round through the trees, taken together, neither of them talking.

One of them helping the other up, arms braced, with the swing forgotten behind them.
Chapter Three

One of Us Needs the Other

And when it went wrong, your child did not think about it for even a second.

One of them helping the other up, arms braced, with the swing forgotten behind them.

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 Two of Us is for

The Two of Us is the sibling book. You add a photo of the brother or sister, and both children are in it throughout: the arguing, the alliance, and the moment one of them needs the other. It is bought for pairs rather than for one child, and it usually gets given to both.

Four to eight. It needs children old enough to have a history together, so it does not suit a toddler and a newborn. From six the dare and its consequences read as a real story about loyalty rather than about a rope swing. Reading level chosen at setup for the older of the two.

For Maya and Itai, who argue every day and would not let anybody else start.
Every book opens on a dedication page. You write your own - this is one that suits this story.

Common questions

What age is The Two of Us for?

The Two of Us 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 Two of Us personalized?

You upload a photo of your child and one of their brother or sister. Each becomes an illustrated character - same face shape, hair and skin tone - and they stay recognizable together across all 12 chapters. Your child's 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 $16.90, softcover $44.90 and hardcover $49.90 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.
