StorySafari
Step 1
Start with the child
A real photo gave the story its hero: Wren in her butterfly dress.
Name-in-story books
A children's book with your child's name in the adventure
Make a personalized story that includes your child's name, favorite things, and the people or pets they love.
Real StorySafari example
From a real photo to a finished storybook
Wren dressed as a butterfly, asked for a fairy story, became a watercolor character, and ended up reading her own printed book.
Step 2
Create the character
StorySafari turned that moment into a reusable illustrated character.
Wren's idea
A fairy story
Her prompt became a secret fairy land beneath the redwoods.
Step 3
Ask what they want
The story starts from the child's own spark, not a generic template.
Step 5
Keep the favorite
When a story becomes special, it can become a printed keepsake book.
Another real StorySafari example
From a flower-garden idea to a family storybook
Murray imagined her family and Poki in a flower garden, became a watercolor character, and ended up holding her own printed mystery.
Step 1
Start with the child
A real photo gave the adventure its curious hero: Murray.
Step 2
Create the character
StorySafari turned Murray into a reusable watercolor character.
Murray's idea
My family in a flower garden
Her parents and Poki joined a mystery among gray, wilted flowers.
Step 3
Ask what they want
The whole family can enter a story sparked by one child's idea.
Step 4
Make the story
The idea became The Gray Garden Mystery, where the family helps a magical garden bloom again.
Step 5
Keep the favorite
Murray's family adventure made it out of the app and into her hands.
More than a name
Name-in-story works best when the details feel real
Seeing their own name in a story can make reading feel more personal. The strongest version adds details that belong to the child: a favorite animal, sibling, grandparent, place, or dream.
StorySafari is built around that kind of personalization, so a child can help shape the story and see their ideas become a real adventure.
Name-in-story books are also classic gifts. If you are shopping for an occasion, see the personalized birthday book or the personalized book for a grandchild — both become hardcover keepsakes.
