Personalized adventure
A Personalized Train Book: Your Child Is the Hero
Two toots of the whistle, a puff of steam, and the mountain line belongs to your child today.
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.
Signal green, pistons hissing, cap slightly too big: your child is driving today. The old steam engine climbs through pine forests and over a river bridge, waits politely for cows at the crossing, and races the sunset to deliver a birthday parcel to the station at the top of the mountain, right on time.
The driver leaning out of the cab window is your child, illustrated from one photo in the style you choose. The story is written around their name, and the conductor can look suspiciously like Dad. Digital book the same day; printed softcover built for repeat departures.
