Questions about this book
My child is going to summer camp. Can the story specifically take place there?
Absolutely. You can use the 'anything special' field to mention the summer camp, its name, or specific activities they will do there. The AI can build the story around that setting to reflect their upcoming trip.
Can I add a message from us parents at the beginning?
You certainly can. There is a space to write a custom dedication on the first page, so your child can read a loving note from you before the story even begins.
