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 Day the Wheels Came Off - chapter 1: Two Wheels Fewer
Chapter One

Two Wheels Fewer

The small extra wheels came off after breakfast, and the bike immediately felt twice as tall.

The Day the Wheels Came Off - chapter 2: Wobble, Stop, Again
Chapter Two

Wobble, Stop, Again

Your child wobbled and stopped and started again more times than anybody was counting, which was the point.

The Day the Wheels Came Off - chapter 3: Suddenly Riding
Chapter Three

Suddenly Riding

Then somewhere near the lamppost the wobbling stopped happening, and your child was simply riding.

These spreads sample the opening, middle and ending of the full 12-chapter book.

Common questions

What age is The Day the Wheels Came Off for?

The Day the Wheels Came Off 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 Day the Wheels Came Off 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.
