Beyond name insertion

The main character should shape the whole story

A child can be more than a name dropped into a template. A stronger personalized book lets the child make choices, face the story problem, and carry the ending.

StorySafari is built around that kind of authorship: the story can start from what the child loves and grow into something families read together.

1

Hero role

The child is the central character who notices, decides, helps, and changes the story.
