Art style

Used on every illustration

Watercolor

Loose washes, pastoral, Beatrix-Potter-ish.

Ink & sepia

Sketchy pen-and-ink, journal-engraving feel.

Pastel

Soft colored-pencil, family-album warmth.

Storybook

Richly painted golden-age illustration.

Modern

Clean lines, flat colors, playful.

Whimsical

Pencil + digital, dreamlike texture.

Wartime comic

Bold 1940s comic-book ink, halftone dots, heroic angles.

Page design

How every illustration sits on the page

Full bleed Recommended

Art to all four edges, every page. Clean and immersive.

Soft edges

Watercolor edges that melt into the cream page. Heirloom feel.

Framed on cream

A clean rectangle with a thin keyline. Quiet, album-like.

Little drawings on the words pages. Text-only pages get a small drawing of that page's key object — the ship, the lantern — like classic storybooks do.

Cover style

How the book cover is laid out

Classic

Framed artwork on cream with the title below.

Band

Full-bleed artwork with a title band and a thin gold rule.

Cinematic

Full-bleed artwork with a soft scrim; the title sits in the scene.

Target age

Drives vocabulary level

Ages 4–6

Simple words, short sentences, lots of repetition.

Ages 5–7

A little more sentence variety. The sweet spot for read-aloud.

Ages 6–8

Early readers — slightly richer vocabulary.

Ages 7–9

Chapter-book bridge — fuller paragraphs.

Narrative voice

How the AI writes

Warm

Intimate, like a grandparent telling a bedtime story.

Reverent

Quiet, honoring the family history — sparing with humor.

Playful

Bright, bouncy, full of joy and small wonders.

Adventurous

Action and momentum — emphasize discovery and bravery.

Where your stories came from

A short note prints on the last page of every book in this collection so a reader can trace it to its source. Pick what fits — then edit the words. It shows in the 3D preview and the printed PDF.

A record we have — a journal, diary, or letters From memory — no document; a story we're telling
