The Mysterious Trick Sign

A crafty silver car pulled alongside them. "Take the tunnel for a shortcut!" the car called out. Leo noticed a bumpy path near a tall green Cactus. Comet shifted his mechanical Gears toward the tunnel. The air smelled sweet like Vanilla ice cream, but something felt wrong to Leo.

Story page 1: The Lights of Glimmerfjord

The Lights of Glimmerfjord

Mia loved living in Glimmerfjord where aurora skies filled the night. Green and pink lights danced softly above the frozen town. Princess Sorrel tapped her wooden staff to make magic Frost on the path. "Look at the ice Sparkle!" Princess Sorrel whispered. Mia held her tiny hand high to catch a glowing beam under the bright Moon.

Story page 2: A Chubby Little Friend

A Chubby Little Friend

Princess Sorrel adjusted her big curly Bun and held up her shiny Lantern. Mia ran ahead to find their sweet friend Otto. Otto was a chubby penguin sitting on a snowy bank. He wore a cozy mustard scarf that had a soft Glimmer in the dark. Mia gave Otto a warm hug. "Are you ready to play, Otto?" Mia asked.

Story page 3: Otto Is Afraid to Skate

Otto Is Afraid to Skate

The frozen lake was smooth and clear. Mia laced up her skates with a big smile. But the little Penguin shook his head and covered his eyes. "I am scared I will slip!" Otto squeaked. Mia knelt down and patted his soft belly. She shared a sweet Apple slice with him. "Touch the ice with one Toe first," Mia said softly.

Meet the cast

Two worlds. Your child in the middle.

Our own original characters, made for MyABCStory. Your child's favorite show sets the mood, like racing, snow, the ocean, or dinosaurs, but never borrows its characters.

Comet the race car and Clanky the tow truck with a boy in a racing suit at a desert speedway

Comet

A good fit if they like things that go

A sleek midnight-blue and copper race car with a big heart. Clanky, a cheerful mustard-orange tow truck,, is the best pit-crew buddy a racer could ask for.

Princess Sorrel and Otto the penguin with a girl in a green cloak in a snowy harbor village

Princess Sorrel

A good fit if they like winter and make-believe

A warm-hearted princess with a big curly bun, a forest-green cloak and a lantern staff that makes frost sparkle. Otto, a chubby penguin in a mustard scarf, helps.

Screen-free learning

The story comes first. The ABCs ride along.

Letters, inside a story they want

The adventure comes first. Hidden in the story are 26 key words, one for every letter, each with its first letter big and bright, like “a shiny Bubble” or “a Zigzag path”, so A to Z fits a short book without turning it into a drill.

Counting from 1 to 10

Each scene also asks them to count something real in the picture — one key, then two crates, all the way to ten. They can point at the page with you.

Fine motor skills, with crayons

The hardcover adds 12 activity pages: trace, write, find and match the letters from each story page. The colouring book is clean line art of the same scenes, for crayons and pencils — not a stylus.

Your child is in the story

You can add a photo. We use it only as a likeness reference so the illustrated child matches, in the same rounded storybook look as everyone else. Skip the photo and we still make the book.

No screens for them

You order here. They get paper. The watermarked preview stays on your screen so you can check the story before you pay.

Questions parents ask

Who is this website for?

Parents and legal guardians in the United States. Children should not use the site or make an account. You describe your child; we print a book they can hold.

Is the book screen-free?

Yes. The finished book is paper. You preview a few watermarked pages online, then order a printed copy. There is no app for your child.

Do I have to upload my child's photo?

No. A photo is optional. If you upload one, you must tick a separate consent box. We use it only as a likeness reference for the illustrated child, we do not build a face template, and we delete the file within 30 days.

Does the book cover the whole alphabet?

Yes. About ten story pages carry a single adventure. Every letter from A to Z starts one highlighted key word somewhere in the story, so children can hunt for them. It is still short enough for one bedtime. The hardcover adds 12 activity pages that practise the letters from each story page.

Can I request a character from a movie?

No. Comet the race car, Clanky the tow truck, Princess Sorrel, Otto, and the rest of the cast are original. The form rejects studio and character names. Please describe real interests, such as apples, trucks, or winter walks.

Where do you ship?

Printed books ship to United States addresses only, including Washington, DC. US Mail shipping is included. Plan on about two weeks.

Is there a digital download?

Yes. The storybook PDF is $9.99, and the storybook plus colouring PDF is $14.99. Once you pay, we paint every page and email you the download link; it is also on your order page. A watermarked cover preview stays on the website so you can check the book before you pay.
