Tips for Amazing Storybooks
Be Specific With Your Story Idea
Include a setting, a character trait, and a small conflict. "A shy bunny discovers a hidden garden" works better than "bunny story".
Match Style to Your Child's Age
Kawaii and Crayon styles appeal to younger kids (2-5), while Watercolor and Oil Painting feel more sophisticated for ages 6+.
Use Your Child's Name
Personalizing with their real name makes the story far more engaging. Kids light up when they hear their own name in a story!
