An example book
The Bravest Door in the Kingdom
A real book this template produced. Every illustration and every line made by the same pipeline, nothing mocked up. It is an example, not your book: yours will star your child, in a story written for them.
Cover
This sample stars a made-up child called Nell.
The brief we start from
A story about starting school for the first time. My child is excited and terrified in equal measure, and I want the book to take the first day seriously rather than pretend it is easy, and end with them having managed it.
This goes to the storyteller exactly as written, as though you had typed it yourself. Everything after it is about your child.
What we'll need from you
- Your child's name and age
- A photo, if you have a good one. It's what makes the illustrations look like them
- Who the book is from, for the cover
Where it lands
being nervous and being brave are the same moment
