Questions about this book

My child is afraid of loud fireworks, can we leave them out?

You can guide the story away from loud noises. Just mention in the special text field that you want to focus only on the daytime picnic and parade, and the story is written around those events.

Can we add our family dog to the barbecue scenes?

Yes, you can add up to four extra characters besides your child, including a family pet. Just provide a photo of your dog and they can join the Fourth of July festivities.
