Questions about this book

Can the story include our specific church or the priest who is leading the service?

Yes. You can use the "Anything special we should weave in?" field to add the name of your parish, the priest, or a special Bible verse. Since every story is written fresh, the AI will weave these details into the scenes. If you want a godparent to appear, you can add them as an extra character with their own photo.

My child is older, will the book feel too childish for them?

No. You choose the reading level when you order. For a child making their First Communion, you might select the age group for children aged 6 to 9, which gives you about 50 to 80 words per page. You can also pick a lesson like Love or Kindness to guide the tone. Plus, if any page feels too simple, you can rewrite the text after ordering.
