Your child’s drawing can be the hero of a book

Photograph the drawing and upload it instead of a photo of your child. The story is written around the character, and the illustrations are painted to look like it on every page, from the cover to the final spread.

A dragon of your own

Will your dragon be green, purple or stripy? Will it have one wing or three? Dragons are imaginary, so anything goes. Give your dragon a name and decide what it's afraid of, and you'll have the beginning of a story.

You could read the story about knights and friendly dragons, or make your child's own dragon the hero of a book.
