A Personalized Dragon Book: Your Child Is the Hero

It starts with a warm egg and ends above the clouds. In between: one small dragon, one big-hearted kid.

We fill in the story idea for you. You can change every word.

Every page of your book is drawn in one of 10 art styles. These samples were created with LittleReaders, exactly as your pages will be.

Your child finds the egg on an ordinary morning, which is how the best stories start. What hatches is small, smoky and instantly devoted. Together they practice wobbly take-offs, share toasted marshmallows (the dragon helps with the toasting) and finally soar over mountaintops at sunrise, wind in hair and wings.

Your child is illustrated from your photo, so the kid on the dragon's back is theirs to point at and say "that's me". Every story is written new for their name and cast; brothers, sisters and friends can ride along. Digital the same day, printed softcover for keeps.
