CONSULTATION

- LET'S GET WHAT YOU WANT ONTO PAPER

We will do a consultation either over the phone, Skype/Messenger or in-person

(depending on what you or your schedule is most comfortable with).
The consultation is when you will describe who you want The Personalized Story Book created for, what you are thinking it should be about, & ask us any and all questions you can think of.
If you include your child/children in the brain storming of their story, they will feel empowered, special, confident and loved.

 

To write your personalized story, we will ask you a few questions.

Examples of some questions, so you can get an idea:
- Age of character/main characters?
- Gender/s?
- Interests?
- Is this to instill a love of learning, to teach an important life-lesson,

just as a fun experience, as a self-esteem booster,

as a personalized gift, another reason or all of the above?
- Reading level? (We custom write your book from ages 0 through adult.)

- & more

Parenting is hard.

​There are so many life lessons, morals and values that you want to teach your child/children.

Not to mention that you want to make sure that they have good self-esteem and self-confidence.

Teaching and fostering these in a way that really

sticks with your child/children is difficult at best.

​​

For example, imagine trying to explain to your 4-year old the importance of stranger-danger,

or why it's not a good idea to wander off on their own in a park/mall & ending up lost?

Or, how do you encourage your 9-year old to be nice to people who are different from him/her

 

- or encourage him/her to believe in themselves

no matter what their friends or other children at school say?

Our Personalized Story Books can help you.

IDEAS FOR YOUR STORY

 

 

AGES

0-3 years

During these years, your book can be about getting your toddler to learn his/her own name, learning the Alphabet letters and sounds, bonding with family through books exploring what makes everyone unique to them.

ABC - 1, 2, 3 stories

to teach your child

how to count & read

Animal lover stories

- featuring

family pets,

shelter animals

or Zoo animals

Name - based stories

Your child's name will be spelled out throughout your personalized book,

with each letter meaning a different skill or strength that your child has.

3-6 years

As your child gets into kindergarten age,

s/he will start exploring friendships with

people outside of the family.

This is a great time to spark their interest in learning, and also to develop important social skills like empathy, kindness, & that people are all different and unique.

6+ years

From kindergarten and on, your child is beginning to see him/herself as an individual. 

This is a great time to teach your child what life & moral lessons you think they'll need to succeed in life.

Now is also a great time to inspire

self-confidence in your child through stories where s/he is the hero!
