A personalised starting school book to help them feel brave
Reading about their own first day, with their own name, uniform and worries, helps children picture school before they get there. Tell us what they're excited and nervous about and we'll shape a story around it.
Hi! Who's starting school?
Free first illustrated page. No sign-up to start. No card.
Starting school story ideas

A story could start with
“He starts reception in September and worries about where the toilets are.”
One sentence is enough. We'll ask a few friendly questions and help you build it into a whole book.
