FROM THE LONGFABLE WORKSHOP

A Christmas story with your child at the center.

Start with something only your family would recognize: the crooked star, Grandpa’s cookie tin, the dog who sleeps under the tree. Make it the clue in a picture book you can read together.

Follow Pip’s pumpkin race in a classic picture book or a comic adventure.

What happens next?

An adult signs in, edits the story idea and adds a photo they have permission to use. Review the characters, choose a plot and read the finished book before deciding about print.

A digital reader and a printed hardcover are different gifts. Check current pricing and delivery details before planning a surprise. Christmas delivery is not guaranteed.

Plan this gift with an assistant

Try asking: “Help me make a Christmas story for a child who loves solving mysteries. Show me two Longfable story starters, ask which illustration style they would like, then give me the Studio link. I’ll add family details there.”
