Peek inside a real sample book

This is "Maya and the Christmas Fox", made for Maya, age 6, who loves foxes and has a beagle puppy named Biscuit. Every word and picture is made fresh for your child.

Sample page 1: Maya in her personalized Christmas story

The snow fell softly in Duluth, making the world outside Maya’s window sparkle. Inside, it was warm and cozy. Her little beagle puppy, Biscuit, snored gently by the glowing Christmas tree, dreaming of chewy bones. Maya, snuggled in her favorite blanket, was bursting with excitement. Tonight was Christmas Eve! Soon Santa would arrive, bringing joy to all.

Suddenly, a tiny, tinkling sound came from the fireplace. *Clink, clank, jingle!* Maya sat up, her eyes wide. Biscuit’s ears twitched, then he let out a sleepy little woof. It wasn't Santa’s big booming laugh, but something much smaller. What could it be? She tiptoed closer, her heart doing a little happy jig-a-jog.

In a blink, they landed softly in a place filled with snow and twinkling lights. Giant candy canes lined the paths, and gingerbread houses smelled delicious. This must be the North Pole! But something was wrong. The air was still, not bustling. No elves were scurrying, no reindeer prancing.
