The method

Four acts. Same order, every book.

Grounded in bibliotherapy: children make sense of a feeling by watching a hero who has it too. The lesson is never told. It is lived, in four acts.

  1. Finn marching happily through a museum hall full of dinosaur skeletons

    01The hook

    Pure adventure

    A sunny dinosaur museum and a treasure to find. Pure fun.

  2. Finn riding a flying pterosaur, frowning, with his hands on his tummy

    02The feeling

    “I know that feeling”

    Mid-flight, a pushing feeling arrives low in his tummy.

  3. Finn smiling on the back of Pip, a friendly pterosaur, above a river

    03The mentor

    Shown, not told

    “My tummy pushes,” he admits. Pip points the way, without fuss.

  4. Finn cheering with his arms up next to Pip by a waterfall

    04It works

    All by myself

    He goes all by himself, then dances a victory jig. Hooray!

Inside Finn's book

Look closer. It's really them.

Questions

Straight answers.

Does this actually help?

It is built on bibliotherapy: a child meets a hero who feels exactly what they feel, then watches that hero learn a way through. It is not a cure or a quick fix. It is a story they ask for again, which gives them words for the feeling and one simple trick to try.

Is it really my child?

Yes. You upload one photo and we draw your child as the hero on every page. Before you pay, you read the whole story and approve how your child is drawn. After that, you can redraw any page until it feels right.

What age is it for?

Ages 2 to 7. The length of the story and the words in it are tuned to your child’s age.

What do I get, and how fast?

A 22-page story with your child as the hero. The PDF is ready in about an hour. The printed hardcover ships to your door, usually in 3–10 business days.

Which problem should I pick?

The one that is hardest right now. Each book focuses on one feeling, so the trick your child learns stays clear and easy to remember.

What happens to the photo?

We use it only to draw your child, and we never share it. Read the privacy policy

The next try could be the one that sticks.

Pick the topic, upload one photo, and read the story before you pay.
