Questions about this book

How do I guide the story so it reflects our specific living arrangement?

You can use the "anything special" field to tell us how your family works. Whether your child splits the week between two houses or sees one parent on weekends, the story is written fresh to match your reality. You can also rewrite any page after ordering if a scene does not quite fit.

Can I include both parents in the book even if we live apart?

Yes, you can add up to four extra characters alongside your child. You can upload photos of both parents or step-parents to show that your child has a whole team of people supporting them. Choosing the Love lesson is a great way to tie it all together.
