The Wild West: a personalized story with your child as the hero

Dust kicks up under their boots as your child steps into a lively frontier town. This frontier adventure takes them out onto the open plains where they can ride horses, pan for gold in a rushing river, and help out the local townsfolk. The desert canyons and starry prairie nights create a perfect backdrop for discovering how to thrive as a pioneer.

This theme is a fun fit for children aged 3 to 5 and 6 to 9 who love cowboys, horses, and outdoor adventures.

Questions about this book

Can I add our family dog as my child's faithful sidekick?

Yes. You can add up to four extra characters, including a pet. Just upload a clear photo of your dog and add their name. They can appear right alongside your child in the frontier town.

Will the story include outlaws or gunfights?

Usually not: the stories are written to be gentle and positive for children. Instead of fighting, your child might solve a mystery, help a neighbor in need, or explore a hidden trail. If that matters to you, drop a note in the "Anything special we should weave in?" field, and you can rewrite any page after ordering.
