What's in the book
It starts with a cardboard box. By page three it's a rocket, and your child is flying past friendly planets to rescue a little star that's lost its shine.
Space stories are a favourite for children who love building things. Mention their real cardboard creations, telescope or glow-in-the-dark ceiling stars and they'll appear in the story.

- Their favourite planet
- What their rocket is made of
- Who's in the crew (sibling, pet, best friend)
- A fact they love telling people about space

Questions parents ask
Is my child's photo stored?
No. The photo is used once to draw your child as a storybook character and is then discarded. Saved and shared books contain only the drawings.
How much does it cost?
Trying it is free: you get your child as a cartoon hero, their story, the cover and the first two pages. The full book (up to 10 pages, up to four heroes including pets) is $9 one time, or ₹449 in India. The Family plan is $19 a month for three books.
