Common Questions

Answers to the questions families ask most.

When should I order for back-to-school?
We recommend ordering 2-3 weeks before school starts so you have it ready for the first day. Many families present it the night before as a confidence booster.
Can the story reference starting school?
The story is built around your child's personality, interests, and current world. If starting school is a big part of their life right now, those themes will naturally emerge in the narrative.
Is this appropriate for kids starting kindergarten?
It's perfect for kindergarten. The story celebrates who they are and gives them a sense of identity and confidence as they enter this new world.
Can a teacher give this as a gift?
Absolutely. Some teachers create personalized books for students as welcome gifts or end-of-year keepsakes. It shows a level of care that children and parents never forget.
Does the book help with reading skills?
Yes. Children are significantly more motivated to read stories about themselves. A personalized book can spark a love of reading that carries through the school year.
